A new model for the simulation of the converter steelmaking process was developed after the detailed study of existing thermodynamic and kinetic models and approaches. This model consists of the reaction model and models for charge materials melting and dissolution. The reaction model is based on the coupled reaction model, which includes the combination of both thermodynamics and kinetics of the involved phases. The models of charge material melting and dissolution include the definition of the driving force for the melting and dissolution, and the mass transfer coefficients in the metal and slag phases.
