Improving phosphorus refining

Objective

Phosphorus removal is required to produce high quality BOS steel. However, current phosphorus process control strategies are based on end point steady-state models, which do not account for the intensely dynamic processes that are involved in phosphorus removal. Consequently, there are often large variations in heat-by-heat performance indicating that existing control schemes for phosphorus are not secure and should be improved to avoid production interrupts and reduce flux costs.

The project aims at improving current phosphorous refining strategies by introducing additional dynamic aspects into the control scheme including enhanced slag formation practices and advanced lance control routines. If successful, the project would be expected to result in improved conservation of resources (slag-making fluxes and lower temperature losses), and a positive environmental impact (reduced BOS slag generation).

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
