Question

The favorable conditions for desulphurization of iron are

• A. Both slag basicity and temperature should be high
• B. Atmosphere should be oxidizing
• C. Slag basicity should be low and temperature should be high
• D. Slag should be viscous

Hint:

Controlling the temperature and slag chemistry is crucial for effective desulphurization in steelmaking processes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

High slag basicity and temperature provide the best conditions for desulphurization of iron in the blast furnace by promoting the formation of slag that absorbs sulfur efficiently.
