Desulfuration Calculations

what is the ladle, a cylinder with a spherical end with a pair of trunnions and a bottom attachment to allow cran suspension and tipping? What is the density of the bottom layer and the layer above it? How much free space is needed above the metal and flux layers? Volume of the 1/2 sphere bottom is easy, volume of the cylinder part is easy. Hot strength of parts is a problem? Is there a refractory lining?

Israel I'm travelling today, but will try to get back to youthis evening.

Freeboard for turbulance from the reaction is likely to be the more important factor, than additional volume. What is the desulfurizing reagent that will be used? Calcium carbide? Magnesium Wire? if the sulfur from you iron is even half a percent, that will not lead to much volume when chemically removed by the reagent. So the turbulence will be the design factor. As well as how it is to be injected.

I would like to suggest to hire a Metallurgical Engineer. Getting rid off a good deal of Sulphur is a routine in the Steel Making process.
