    The waste emulsion is the oily wastewater in high concentration discharged in steel rolling process and the key of treatment is demulsification. In this paper, the suitable demulsification methods are selected through experimental study as well as the experimental conditions of electrooxidation demulsification and chemical flocculation demulsification are selected. The results showed that the most suitable demulsification method was electrooxidation, its optimum current range was 2.0~3.8 A and optimum voltage range was 140~200 V; the optimum coagulant for chemical flocculation demulsification was polyaluminum chloride. When the quantity added to is 1.5 g/L and pH value is adjusted to 7~9, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in waste emulsion reduces to less than 8 000 mg/L, oil content reduces to less than 1 000 mg/L and suspended solids reduces to less than 1 500 mg/L.

    In this paper, the dimensional changes of austenite grain for X80 pipeline steel with such conditions as different heating temperatures and heating times are studied with the thermal simulation method. The results showed that the austenite grain coarsening was obvious, which was from the minimum, about 35 μm to about 120 μm with the increase of heating temperature and soaking time; but if the soaking time was shorter (1 min), the austenite grain size still remained within 80 μm even if it was heated at 1 280 ℃, which showed the essence of fine grained steel. As a result, the mathematic model of austenite grain growth for X80 pipeline steel was obtained by the regression of experimental data, which could provide basis for industrial production.

    The large-grained ribbed Al2O3 inclusion is the main cause of cracking through analyzing the cracking in process of stamping beam steel BT700L. In order to improve the size and morphology of inclusion in product, the rare earth Ce is added in production of beam steel BT700L. Since the affinity of rare earth Ce and oxygen is very strong, the rare earth Ce in molten steel reacts with oxygen and generates rare earth oxide (RE2O3) coming up to slag so that the yield of rare earth Ce in steel is extremely low. It could be improved effectively through optimizing and controlling the content of Ce in molten steel of steelmaking and continuous casting, oxidability of slag as well as such process as protective casting of continuous caster. Moreover, the atomic radius of rare earth Ce is greater than that of iron atom and rare earth Ce could denature inclusions in steel. It is found that the size of inclusion in product becomes small, morphology of inclusion spheroidizes and low temperature impacting property of product is effectively improved after add rare earth Ce into molten steel through studying and analyzing adding rare earth Ce into beam steel BT700L.
