Influence of unburned pulverized coal on the viscosity of blast furnace slag

In order to explore the influence of unburned pulverized coal in ironmaking on the viscosity of blast furnace slag, the impact of temperature, volume fraction of solid particles and the rotating speed on the viscosity of CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 heterogeneous slag were studied by experiment. The calculation model of relative viscosity of heterogeneous slag containing unburned pulverized coal is corrected. The results showed that the viscosity of heterogeneous slag increased with the increase of the volume fraction of the solid particles, and decreased with the increase of the rotating speed. For the heterogeneous slag with the same composition, the relative viscosity is not affected by the temperature and decreases with the increase in the rotating speed. The impact of unburned pulverized coal solid particles on the viscosity of the slag was much larger than the predicted value of the Einstein-Roscoe equation.

Automated summary

The influence of unburned pulverized coal in ironmaking on the viscosity of blast furnace slag was explored. The experiments studied the impact of temperature, volume fraction of solid particles and rotating speed on the viscosity of CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 heterogeneous slag. The relative viscosity calculation model of slag containing unburned pulverized coal was corrected. The results showed that the volume fraction of solid particles had a positive effect on the viscosity of the slag, while the rotating speed had a negative effect. The influence of unburned pulverized coal solid particles on the slag viscosity was larger than predicted.
