Abstract
Abstract The slag-metal interface serves as a crucial locus for both chemical reactions and the adsorption of inclusions during secondary refining. This study first comprehensively reviews the methods of inclusions removal and then establishes a cold-state experiment using a water-oil system to reappear the phenomenon of slag-metal dispersion and inclusion adsorption. The distribution of slag droplets under varying slag volumes is analyzed in terms of the effect of bottom blow rates. Simultaneously, the volumetric fraction of oxygen on the slag-eye surface is analyzed. The result proved that the increase in oil layer thickness or the gas flow rate increase the volume of entrained oil. The dimensionless depth of entrained droplets was positively associated with gas flow rate or oil thickness. The dimensionless depth of “large droplets” and “small droplets” was in the range of 0–25 % and 0–60 %, respectively. Moreover, analysis of the gas composition above the slag-eye in a water-oil system is used to determine the degree of secondary oxidation. The oxygen volume fraction over the surface of the slag-eye decreases with the increase of gas flow rate. The oxygen volume fraction over the surface of the slag-eye is 1.51 % when the gas flow rate is 9 L/min.
