When used in agglomeration and blast-furnace production, FluMag® results in slag with ideal metallurgical properties, increasing the quality of the agglomerate and nuggets and the effectiveness of the cast iron smelting.
FluMag® flux with a high magnesium oxide content is applied when smelting iron in a blast furnace, producing sinter in sintering and pelletizing.
FluMag® flux with a high magnesium oxide content is designed to introduce magnesium to a blast furnace both directly and via agglomerate and sinter, improving its quality (based on Japanese patents) with the aim of reducing the viscosity of blast-furnace slag and improving its desulphurating capacity for more efficient iron smelting.
FluMag® is applied in the sinter-feed mixture in quantities that equate to 0.5-2 % of furnace burden weight. It reduces the tendency of pore formation, excessive magnesium oxide dissolving in initial sinter-feed mixture materials, and reduces slag formation.
FluMag® flux with a high magnesium oxide content is applied when manufacturing iron-ore agglomerate with the optimum amount of FluMag® flux introduced at 2%, improving pellet quality characteristics.
It stabilizes the behavior of magnesium oxide in blast-furnace slag when melting sinter and agglomerate in a blast furnace, and increases furnace capacity.
FluMag advantages
01 The best alternative to using dolomite, magnesite, or limestone in the production of agglomerate and nuggets
02The lowest impurity content
03As compared with dolomite, it results in significantly stronger agglomerate
04Increases the efficiency of the agglomerate manufacturing process
05Makes the iron ore nuggets stronger and more resistant to heat. When it is used for fluxing no bentonite is required
06Does not release any СО2 when it degrades, thus making the agglomerate manufacturing process less environmentally damaging
