In the present work, a full factorial design of experiments with three factors was performed studying the evaporation of potassium (K) from synthetic blast furnace (BF) slag. The experiments showed that slag temperature and B2 basicity (%CaO/%SiO₂) had the greatest effect on the evaporation kinetics, while the effect of the MgO content was comparatively less. The regression model developed based on the experimental design could describe the evaporation of K from actual BF slags fairly well, provided that they were within the experimental matrix of the design of experiments.
