Abstract

The decarburisation process is studied with the help of mathematical modelling of RH degasser with reaction interface area approach, considering multi-component mixed phase mass transport theory. An algorithm is developed by considering Ar gas, bath surface and CO gas bubbles as the reaction sites for decarburisation process. On the basis of this, the model is developed using MATLAB. The model is tested with five sets of data which are obtained from JSW Steel Plant Ltd. The results obtained from the model have been compared with the industrial data as well as the data obtained from literature survey. It is shown that the nitrogen and hydrogen removal are triggered more for higher CO evolution rate. The relations between carbon removal and factors like area of interface, time and vacuum pressure are proposed.
