Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">The viscosity of the blast furnace slag, which is greatly influenced by its composition, has to be low at the operating temperature in order to make the slag easy flowing. Such a slag encourages an acceleration of the rate of slag metal reactions/exchanges, thus influencing the efficiency of the blast furnace process. The present project aims at measuring the viscosity of synthetic high alumina Indian blast furnace slags in agreement with the slag compositions encountered in the industries using inner-cylinder-rotating type viscometer (VIS 403). It is observed that the viscosity is greatly influenced by the CaO/</span></b><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;"> </span><b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:&#10;18.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast">SiO₂</span></b><b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;"> (C/S) ratio, MgO and&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></b><b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:&#10;18.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast">TiO₂</span></b><b style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; contents.</span></b>< /> <b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:Calii;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;color:red;&#10;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">< clear="all" style="page-eak-before:always;mso-eak-type:section-eak" /> </span></b></p>
