The Online Research of B2O3 on Crystal Behavior of High Ti-Bearing Blast Furnace Slag by Yin-he Lin, Bin Zheng, Lin-gen Luo, Yu-long Jia, Li-qiang Zhang

“…Compared to the samples without B2O3 additives, the liquid phase of Ti-bearing slag with B2O3 additives appears earlier at the same experimental temperature, and the solid particles floating on the surface of liquid slag become less. Moreover, the B2O3 additives can promote the migration of titanium elements from the high melting point phase to the low melting point phase, and the transferring quantity increases with the addition of the amount of B2O3 additives. …”
