Conclusions
It is shown that it is possible in principle to carry out the sorption deoxygenation of a metal by refractories. A highly developed surface helps to provide a more complete sorption deoxygenation.
Experimentally, periclase has better sorption properties than corundum.
Most of the oxygen is removed from the melt in the first 5–10 min. The extent of the oxygen removal from the melt increases with an increase in its original concentration.
