Dissolution of alumina in stainless steelmaking slags was studied by conducting laboratory scale experiments on typical slags in the temperature range 1823–1923 K. The mechanism of dissolution was studied under the actual steelmaking conditions where several phenomena such as simultaneous reduction of chromium, iron and vanadium oxides by carbon, in‐situ gas generated due to the reduction, foam/emulsion formation occur. The kinetics of alumina dissolution are studied under the influence of the above mentioned phenomena.
