Slag Splashing — Cold Model Comparisons and Equations for Industry Setup

The practice of slag splashing is already consolidated industrially. However, there are still uncertainties about the relationship of lance parameters and their effects on the slag. This article presents a comparison of the similarity of two 300-ton converters, one in Ukraine and the other in Brazil, with the 1/10 scale acrylic model of the LASIP located at the Federal University of Minas Gerais and their respective slag splashing patterns. The results will be compared using an improved version of the equation of motion in determining the jet penetration over the slag layer and the ejection of material to cover the refractory walls.
