Answer:
Calcium oxide also plays an important part in the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking furnace. Here it helps to remove impurities such as phosphorus and sulphur from the steel. Phosphorus is a non-metal and produces an acidic oxide, P2O5. In the BOS furnace P2O5 combines with the basic calcium oxide to make calcium phosphate.
