摘要

The application of CO2 in the steelmaking process has yielded promising results, demonstrating a certain capability for nitrogen removal. To accurately determine the kinetic parameters of nitrogen reactions at the iron melt interface under CO2 injection conditions, an isotope exchange technique was employed. This technique was used to monitor the evolution of the nitrogen isotopic composition during the reaction between a 28N230N2–CO2–CO–Ar gas mixture and an iron melt of controlled composition. The kinetic parameters of nitrogen were subsequently calculated for various CO2/CO ratios. Furthermore, the dissociation rate determining model was applied to establish the relationship between the interfacial reaction rate constant (kc) and the activity of surfactive elements (O, C, and S) in molten iron (aO, aC, and aS), expressed as \({k_c} = {{4.35 \times {{10}^{- 6}}} \over {{{({1 + 14.25{a_{\rm{O}}} + 0.25{a_{\rm{C}}} + 6.50{a_{\rm{S}}}})}^2}}}\) k c = 4.35 × 10 6 ( 1 + 14.25 a O + 0.25 a C + 6.50 a S ) 2 .
