Cu Evaporation from Liquid Iron Alloy in Stream
The accumulation of copper in steel scrap is becoming an increasingly problematic issue in the steelmaking industry. Accordingly, the present study was undertaken to investigate the removal of copper from a liquid Fe–Cu alloy via tapping under vacuum. Furthermore, the impact of surface-active compon...

| description | The accumulation of copper in steel scrap is becoming an increasingly problematic issue in the steelmaking industry. Accordingly, the present study was undertaken to investigate the removal of copper from a liquid Fe–Cu alloy via tapping under vacuum. Furthermore, the impact of surface-active components sulfur and oxygen was examined. For this purpose, four Fe–0.5 wt% Cu alloys with varying oxygen and sulfur contents were melted and subsequently poured at a pressure of 100 Pa. The findings indicate that alloys with low oxygen and sulfur content exhibited enhanced copper evaporation. Additionally, the evaporation of other tramp metals, including manganese, phosphorus, and tin, was observed, and the influence of sulfur and oxygen on this process was discussed. Furthermore, the vacuum treatment conditions for copper evaporation in industrial settings were explored. |
