“…A slag with a low liquid fraction has a high apparent viscosity, which leads to high iron losses. [6,[26][27][28] Furthermore, a high solid fraction decreases the reaction surface and therefore the reactivity, of the slag, hampering the reaction between MgS and CaO (Reaction 2). As MgS, in contact with oxygen from the air, thermodynamically favors the formation of MgO, the sulfur would return to the hot metal, a phenomenon called resulfurization.…”
