Abstract

X.R.F. analysis of steelmaking slags has been done routinely since the 1960s. Fused buttons or pressed powdered pellets are used.

Under certain conditions steelmaking slags may contain appreciable amounts of free lime and metallic iron droplets. These can cause gross inaccuracies in the result of the X.R.F. analysis as the normal correction procedures used in X-ray fluorescence techniques can not compensate for them.

A special sample preparation technique as well as appropriate analytical procedures will be discussed. Examples of slags with different levels of free lime and metallic iron will be shown.
