<p>The present invention provides, during dephosphorizing a hot metal by top blowing oxygen and injecting a flux by bottom blowing using a refining vessel having a top-and-bottom-blowing function, a dephosphorizing process capable of conducting excellent dephosphorization without using fluorite. That is, the process is as follows. A process for dephosphorizing a hot metal, wherein oxygen is top blown into a hot metal and a flux containing as a major component a component that is one or at least two substances selected from quick lime, limestone and iron oxide and that contains at least iron oxide is blown thereinto with oxygen, an inert gas or a mixture of the two gases used as a carrier gas, characterized by that the process including the step of blowing the flux into a hot metal in such a manner that the ratio of a mass of CaO in the blown flux to a total mass of oxygen (CaO/O) contained in iron oxide in the blown flux and in the carrier gas exceeds 2.5. Moreover, the present invention provides a process for dephosphorizing a hot metal comprising blowing the flux into a hot metal in such a manner that the proportion of solid oxygen based on the entire oxygen added becomes from 5 to 40% by mass. <IMAGE></p> |
