I have done WD-XRFS analysis of slag samples, there Iron oxide gives as Fe2O3 but from literature and XPS analysis I have seen, majorly Iron stays in the slag as FeO in EAF, Hence I want to convert Fe2O3 to FeO
Following way one can convent based on the data available
Using atomic weights of Fe = 55.845(2) and O = 15.9994(3), we obtain molecular weights for Fe2O3 = 159.688 and 2(FeO) = 143.689. This gives a conversion factor of 159.688 / 143.689 = 1.1113.
Processing Instructions: MgO-based refractory coating is the preferred refractory for arc furnaces (EAF) worldwide. Ability to identify and eliminate the causes and mechanisms of refractory erosion along with continuous modification of factory parameters is required to increase the life of the refractory. Erosion process can be significantly modified by changing technology. The most important place in EAF furnace is slag line. Double duplication of CaO and MgO) with refractory coating using lime and dolomite, brick waste or MgO refractories is an attempt to control slag. Puffing slag against erosion is very useful. Control of FeO in slag is one of the main aspects of slag puffing and refractory erosion.
