Slag yield calculation
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: In actual production, can the yield of pyrite slag be calculated by dividing the iron content in the ore fed into the furnace by the iron content in the slag?
=(160 - sulfur in the ore fed) / (160 - sulfur in the slag)
Reply to 2# Haizi01: The algorithm described in the textbook doesn’t seem to be very accurate
There are no absolute things; there are many forms of sulfur minerals, and this is the simplest form, pyrite. It needs to be accurate; you can conduct your own mining experiment – burn it and then weigh it to figure it out! :)
It’s just theory; what about the other high-temperature decompositions in the mine? Can it burn in a reactive manner?
I would like to ask what exactly 160 represents in terms of slag yield? Thank you
It should be the molecular weight of iron oxide trioxide
