Synopsis : Plant scale experiments have been carried out to dephosphorize and desulfurize hot metal with injecting pulverized CaO base flux in a charging ladle (100 t). It has been reveraled from oxygen potential, Po2, measured by oxygen probes that dephosphorization takes place near lance nozzles where Po2 is kept high (=10-14•`10-13 atm), whereas desulfurization at the top slag/hot metal boundary where Po2 is made lower (•à10-15 atm). The injection treatment which forms the above distribution of Po, in hot metal can provide the separation of reaction sites for dephosphorization and desulfurization. Thus, the simultaneous removal of phosphorus and sulfur is possible in one step operation. Phosphate capacity of the CaO base slag with CaO/SiO2 of 2.5 has been evaluated as 10 26.5 at 12001 300•Ž. Since the value of Po2 near the lance nozzles has been measured as 10-14•`10-13 atm, the calculated phosphorus destribution ratio between ascending slag particles and hot metal increases up to ca. 104. This high value is sufficient to dephosphorize hot metal. Rate of dephosphorization by the slag particles has been studied. The rate-determining step has been shown to be phosphorus transfer in the slag particles at the early stage and halfway of the treatment and in the hot metal boundary layer at the last stage. Observed decrease of phosphorus content in hot metal has agreed well with calculated one.
