[0002] In the process of steelmaking, metallurgical enterprises, in order to adjust the carbon content in steel, perform carburization treatment on molten steel during the steel-making process and refining process to meet the carbon content requirements of steel. At present, common carburizers include asphalt coke carburizer, petroleum coke carburizer, artificial graphite carburizer, coal-based carburizer and carbon-containing ferroalloys, etc. Each type of carburizer has advantages and disadvantages and different application steel types. Carburizers are generally solid particles (some powders), with a small specific gravity. They are easy to float on the slag surface during use, causing carbon burning or local enrichment of carbon in molten steel, resulting in unstable carburization effect. With the development and maturity of new smelting processes, the market has higher and higher requirements for the cost-effectiveness of carburizers to meet the needs of high-quality smelting. Therefore, developing a carburizer with good cost-effectiveness and a method to improve the carburization effect has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. Summary of the invention

[0012] Furthermore, it is suitable for 210-ton converter production lines to smelt steel with a carbon content of 0.18-0.21%.

[0013] Furthermore, it is suitable for 260-ton converter production lines to smelt steel with a carbon content of 0.17-0.29%.
