Research Abstract

Several properties of limestones and their burnt limes were investigated on six commercially available limestones for the iron and steel refining. Additional experiments were carried out to study the relationships between hydration reactivity of burnt limes and reactivity to molten iron and fluxing property to molten slags.
1. For the hydration reactivity test, the early value after 1 minute indicates closer relationship to the reactivity with molten iron than the value after 10 minutes which has been widely used in steelmaking practice. In other words, large scatter in early value of hydration reactivity was observed even for soft burnt lime, but the reactivity to molten iron increased with increasing of the early value.
2. High early value of hydration reactivity was obtained for the limestone having large grain size in spite of relatively low temperature calcination almost independent of calcination conditions. On the other hand, low early value was obtained for the limestone having small grain size by relatively low temperature calcination, and it was improved by high temperature calcination or holding for a long time.
3. It was found out that the factor controlling the early value of hydration reactivity and reactivity to molten iron was not the microstructure of burnt lime surface but macro crack of 1 <mu> m order in width.
4. The formation of crack of 1 <mu> m order in width depends on the grain size of limestone and the calcination conditions (calcination temperature and holding time), and it may be attributed to micro grain growth of burnt lime by sintering.
5. The relationship between the early value of hydration reactivity and fluxing property to molten slag may consist with the reactivity to molten iron. However, more examinations may be required to make it clear.
