Effect of the Acidity Coefficient on the Properties of Molten Modified Blast Furnace Slag and Those of the Produced Slag Fibers

The online preparation of fibers using molten modified blast furnace slag can not only achieve the high-value-added utilization of the slag but can also make use of the sensible heat of the slag. In this paper, blast furnace slag was modified using iron tailings, and was then used to prepare slag fi...

description The online preparation of fibers using molten modified blast furnace slag can not only achieve the high-value-added utilization of the slag but can also make use of the sensible heat of the slag. In this paper, blast furnace slag was modified using iron tailings, and was then used to prepare slag fiber online; the effects of the acidity coefficient on the properties of the molten modified blast furnace slag and modified blast furnace slag fiber were investigated. With an increase in the acidity coefficient from 1.2 to 1.6, the temperature range of the slag melt, with viscosity in the 1–3 Pa·s range, increased from 101.2 °C to 119.9 °C. The melting temperature increased from 1326.2 °C to 1388.7 °C, and the suitable fiber-forming temperature range increased from 70.7 °C to 82.9 °C. With the increasing acidity coefficient, the crystallization temperature of the molten modified slag decreased markedly. When the acidity coefficient was greater than 1.4, the slag system was still in a disordered glassy phase at 1100 °C. The hardening speed gradually reduced with the increasing acidity coefficient when the modified slag was cooled at the critical cooling rate, resulting in a gradual increase in fiber formability. The fibers prepared from the modified slag at different acidity coefficients had smooth surfaces, and were arranged in a crossed manner at the macroscopic level. Their color was white, and small quantities of slag balls were doped inside the fibers. With an increase in the acidity coefficient from 1.2 to 1.6, the average fiber diameter increased from 4.2 μm to 8.2 μm, and their slag ball content increased from 0.73% to 4.49%. Overall, the acidity coefficient of modified blast furnace slag should be less than 1.5 in actual production.
