Scope

GB/T 30897-2025 is the English-translated version of 烧结用钢渣.

GB/T 30897-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering two by-products of steelmaking fed back into the sinter plant — desulfurisation slag, with its calcium oxide floor and its ceilings on magnesium, aluminium and silicon oxides, and magnetically separated steel slag powder graded I to III by total iron, both held to a 0 mm to 10 mm size range and a moisture ceiling, with the 500-tonne lot and the type testing that follows any change of raw material. It replaces GB/T 30897-2014, merging in the desulfurisation slag standard GB/T 24184-2009. Under the China Iron and Steel Association. In force from 1 March 2026. Issued on 29 August 2025, it has been in force since 1 March 2026, replacing GB/T 30897-2014.

Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents". Drafting.

This document supersedes GB/T 24184-2009 "High-calcium desulfurization slag for sintering flux" and GB/T 30897-2014 "Magnetic separation slag steel for sintering".

This document, titled "Powder," merges and revises two standards, GB/T 24184-2009 and GB/T 30897-2014, except for structural adjustments and editorial changes.

In addition, the main technical changes in this document compared to the original standard are as follows.

a) The contents of calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon dioxide, phosphorus, and sulfur in the desulfurization residue were adjusted (see Table 1, Table 1 of GB/T 24184-2009);

b) The requirements for the aluminum oxide content in desulfurization slag have been increased (see Table 1);

c) The iron content in the magnetically separated steel slag powder was changed (see Table 2, Table 1 of GB/T 30897-2014);

d) Increased particle size requirements (see 4.2);

e) Additional requirements have been added (see 4.4);

f) Factory inspection and type inspection have been added (see 6.2 and 6.3).

3 Terms and Definitions

The terms and definitions defined in YB/T 804 and the following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1

Desulfurization slag produced by the external desulfurization process of molten iron using calcium-based desulfurizing agents.

3.2 4 Technical Requirements
