Abstract
An iron melt is desulphurized. To this end, the irom melt is admixed with a powder mixture comprising metallic magnesium and at least one calcium compound, the latter being selected from calcium carbide, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate and dolomite, and the said calcium compound being used in the form of particles with a size of 0.06 to 3 mm, wherein the powder mixture contains 0.1 to 2.5 weight % of metallic magnesium in the form of particles having a size of 0.060 to 0.095 mm.
Claims2
