In ferroalloy production, specially designed slag crucibles are used for transporting and pouring slag, which is one of the by-products of melting and refining processes. The slag is formed when the impurities in the raw materials are separated from the molten metal and a protective layer formed rises to the surface. Slag crucibles are designed to withstand extremely high temperatures due to the temperature and density of the processed metal.
Although slag is a by-product of the smelting and refining process, it plays a very important role in the production process. The slag improves the quality of the processed metal by keeping the impurities separated from the molten metal. It also increases the efficiency of the smelting and refining process during the slag separation process.
After removal, the slag is collected in slag pots and transported to a slag pit for disposal. This process is very important for the environment. The slag may contain toxic metals in some cases and can seriously affect the environment if not disposed of properly.
As a result, slag crucibles play a very important role in ferroalloy production. When properly designed and used, slag crucibles can improve the quality of the processed metal, increase the efficiency of the smelting and refining process, and provide an environmentally safe production environment.
