Abstract

Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was applied to investigated a total of 16 samples of raw materials, intermediate and final products involved in metallurgical processes in Romanian Iron and Stell works Sidex Galatzy: iron ores and pellets from different regions of the world, cast iron, slag and steels. A series of chemical elements was determined in the analyzed samples: Al, As, Ce, Co, Cr, Fe, La, Mn, Na, Sc, Sm, V, W. A qualitative discussion regarding the passing of from elements with different chemical affinity for oxygen compared to that of iron, from the raw materials to slag or to finite products is presented.
