The company’s product quality is stable. The main chemical composition is Mgo ≥ 38%, Sio2 ≤ 40%, and Ai2o3 ≤ 0.8%. It is a high-quality flux for adjusting the pH of molten iron during sintering and ironmaking. According to the data, compared with dolomite power, the cost per ton of hot metal can be reduced by 8-12 USD, the steelmking product yield can be increased by 1%, the cost can be reduced by 2%, and the quality of steel can be increased by 3%, 4% - 7%, saving money for ironworks.
