ALMAMET produces Lime blends containing Magnesium (KM) for hot metal desulfurization using mono-injection systems.
All ALMAMET’s Lime-Magnesium blends (KM) are tailor-made and designed individually for each plant to match or even surpass the results of a desulfurization with Calcium Carbide.
Our Lime-Magnesium blends offer a wides range of advantages over other Lime-Magnesium blends available on the market, as well as over the use of Calcium Carbide on the Desulfurization of hot metal and steel:
The graph shows a long-term comparison between Calcium Carbide and KM115, a Lime blend containing 15 % Magnesium. While the desulfurization efficiency is nearly identical, significant improvements in iron losses and reagent costs are achieved.
Compared to Calcium Carbide CaC2 the PCF of ALMAMET’s KM 115 is only about 40% of Calcium Carbide’s PCF. So, it leads to significantly lower emission values in your mono-injection systems and your Scope 3 emissions according the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG).
With using ALMAMET’s Lime-Magnesium blend KM 115 in mono-injection systems, the CO2 emissions (kg CO2/to) can be reduced by 75 % compared to a Standard Lime-Magnesium blend.
