ABSTRACT

The structure of foaming synthetic BOF-converter slags was studied by freezing the foam and using ocular examination. The foams were generated by CO gas formed due to the reaction between FeO in the slag and carbon in the hot metal. The character of the foams varied a lot with slag composition. Slag with lower viscosity resulted in foams with small gas bubbles, while slag having high viscosity resulted in very big bubbles.
