Abstract:As the main by-product in the ironmaking process, the blast furnace slag (BFS) crystallization capacity determines its potential as an active material. The higher the amorphous phase content, the stronger the activity of the BFS. The gas quenching process can effectively prepare high content amorphous slag beads as increasing the BFS cooling rate, which improves the BFS added value utilization. The BFS mineral phase evolution process is explained and the mineral phase precipitation mechanism is analyzed in the continuous cooling process through the thermodynamic simulation and in-situ observation method, which determines the initial crystallization temperature, initial crystal phase and critical cooling rate. At the same time, the crystallization activation energy and Avrami index are calculated to obtain the BFS composition which is conducive to inhibiting the mineral phase precipitation in the granulation process. The results show that, the initial crystal phase of the BFS with the basicity range of 0.9-1.3 are all gehlenite in the continuous cooling process. The initial crystallization temperature gradually increases and the precipitation amount of melilite increases with the increase of basicity, but a part of the melilite begins to change into dicalcium silicate when the basicity increases to 1.2. At the same time, the increase of basicity inhibits the precipitation of anorthite and augite, but has little effect on the precipitation of spinel. The BFS crystallization critical cooling rate gradually increases, the Avrami index gradually increases, and the crystallization activation energy gradually decreases with the increase of basicity. Therefore, high basicity BFS requires large overcooling to inhibit the mineral phase precipitation, which is conducive to obtaining high content amorphous slag beads. At the same time, the slag beads is prepared by gas quenching BFS with different basicities. The amorphous phase content increases and the transparency degree of slag beads gradually increases with the decrease of BFS basicity, and the amorphous content is higher than the national standard GB/T18046-2008 which the mass percent of slag amorphous phase should not be less than 85%, which provides a theoretical basis for the BFs high added value resources and waste heat efficient utilization.
