Abstract:The liquid phase proportion, viscosity, surface tension and density of alumina-rich slag with 30% Al2O3 as raw material were studied under different n(CaO)/n(Al2O3) (C/A=1.4, 1.5, 1.6), MgO mass fraction (0%, 5%, 10%) and temperatures (1 550, 1 600, 1 650 ℃). The influence of alumina-rich slag properties on foaming behavior under different n(CaO)/n(Al2O3) conditions and its relationship with foaming index were analyzed. The results show that under different n(CaO)/n(Al2O3) conditions, the temperature of slag while completely transforming to liquid phase changes with MgO mass fraction. The viscosity and surface tension of slag both decrease with the increase of temperature, and the decrease of viscosity is smaller while the decrease of surface tension is larger with the increase of temperature. The density of slag increases with the increase of temperature, but the amplitude is small, so temperature has little effect on density. In the slag with 0% and 5% MgO mass fraction at 1 650 ℃, changing w(CaO)/w(SiO2) can affect the foaming property of slag. The relationship between slag properties and foaming index is established. Comprehensive analysis of slag characteristics shows that n(CaO)/n(Al2O3) should not be too high, and the recommended ratio is 1.4. The physical properties and foaming ability of aluminum-rich slag under different conditions are analyzed by experiment, and the changing law of physical characteristics and foaming index of alumina-rich slag are obtained, which can provide a certain reference for the application of alumina-rich slag in metallurgical process.
