Item Slag-steel emulsification on a modified RH degasser.(2021) Silva, Antonio Marlon Barros; Oliveira, Mateus Assis; Peixoto, Johne Jesus Mol; Silva, Carlos Antônio daA new arrangement of RH snorkels is proposed in order to improve the slag metal interaction. According to this RHDeS design, the steel jet flowing down from the vacuum chamber discharges inside the slag layer. Physical modeling of a reactor following this concept was performed. Mixing times, circulation rates, and the mass transfer coefficient were evaluated as well as the droplet residence time. Mixing times and overall circulation are not very much affected by the modifications. However, the modification brings about a large and sustainable dispersion of slag (oil) in metal (water). The influence of this dispersion on de-S was assessed. A lumped kinetic parameter KA=vw was evaluated in order to quantify the process kinetics. Kinetics can be improved by one order of magnitude. It is suggested that proper slag (amount and basicity) allied to this geometric modification could be fruitful to sulfur removal from deoxidized steel. Simulations show that sulfur removal with this RHDeS arrangement is expected to be higher than with schemes where de-S reagents are added in the vacuum chamber.Item Steel desulfurization on RH degasser : physical and mathematical modeling.(2022) Silva, Antonio Marlon Barros; Peixoto, Johne Jesus Mol; Silva, Carlos Antônio da; Silva, Itavahn Alves daDue to the high-quality steel demand, especially for ultra-low Sulfur steel, RH desulfurization has been practiced. Based on this, mathematical and physical modeling have been applied to study steel desulfurization by reagent addition in the RH degasser vacuum chamber. The main result of cold modeling, using water and oil emulating steel and slag, respectively, was to assess the influence of density difference between the continuous and disperse phases on oil droplet behavior. It is shown that its flow tends to be more restricted near the down snorkel when the density difference increases. Moreover, these results provide the basis for CFD modeling validation, which enabled the determination of slag drop residence time inside steel on RH and the average value of the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy inside the RH ladle. These two pa- rameters were used to develop a kinetic model, which reaches a good agreement with industrial trial results available in literature. The optimum desulfurization degree of 31.44% was achieved for a gas flow rate of 90 Nm3 /h, according to the kinetic model. This value can be useful in some steel grade production, where the required S content is less than 10 ppm. Even in common steel grade production, if some punctual chemical adjustment is necessary, this technique is also useful. The main kinetic parameter for steel desulfurization is the steel circulation rate. For best results, it should be reduced in the desulfurization stage, and after that, the normal operation can be resumed, so that the production cycle is not affected.Item Flotação de rejeito de minério de ferro.(2021) Rocha, Geriane Macedo; Silva, Antonio Marlon Barros; Henriques, Andréia Bicalho; Pereira, Carlos AlbertoEste trabalho apresenta resultados de ensaios de flotação com rejeito de minério de ferro oriundo de uma barragem localizada na região de Serra Azul, no Quadrilátero Ferrífero. Devido a diminuição de reservas minerais com elevados teores metálicos de Fe, e dificuldades e riscos na disposição de rejeitos gerados no processamento de minérios, estudos buscando o reaproveitamento desses materiais tem se tornado cada vez mais relevantes. A composição química do rejeito apresentou %Fe de ~44% e %SiO2 de ~31%. Durante os ensaios foram avaliadas as dosagens dos reagentes, o uso de amido de milho e mandioca e diferentes métodos de preparação. Valores ótimos de dosagens dos reagentes depressor (amido) e coletor (amina) foram definidas em 600 g/t e 100 g/t, respectivamente. Os amidos de mandioca levaram a um aumento nas recuperações mássicas e metálicas, mas com uma leve queda no %Fe e aumento no %SiO2 do concentrado. Os ensaios com amostra sem deslamagem foram pouco seletivos, gerando um concentrado com teor de sílica acima de 15%. Para as amostras deslamadas, precedidas de uma moagem de 2 minutos ou não, foram obtidos teores de Fe no concentrado em torno de 65%, adequado ao setor siderúrgico.
