Effect of K and Na on reduction swelling performance of oxidized roasted briquettes

The presence of potassium oxide (K2O) and sodium oxide (Na2O) causes high reduction swelling of pellets of Bayan Obo iron concentrate during reduction and thus affects the permeability of blast gases during blast furnace operations. The influencing mechanism of K2O and Na2O on the swelling behavior...
