Desulfurization

A high sulfur content is detrimental to steel, so it must be removed while the steel is still molten. Desulfurization occurs at various steps of the steel making process by injecting various chemical mixtures into the molten metal while it is still in the ladle. Desulfurization is done at BOF, LMF and even in the tundish prior to casting.
