Disclosed is a slag discharging method in a process of producing ultra-low phosphorus steel, which relates to the technical field of iron and steel smelting, and in which molten steel is mixed with lime first to produce basic slag; then converting is performed with oxygen to increase the oxidizability of the basic slag; and a carbon-containing reducing agent is finally added, so that in the process that the carbon is oxidized to release a large amount of carbon monoxide gas, phosphates are captured, and the basic slag is rapidly foamed and overflows from the opening of the steel ladle, so that conditions are no longer available for rephosphorization. Also disclosed is a method for producing ultra-low phosphorus steel, which includes the above-described slag discharging method in a process of producing ultra-low phosphorus steel, and refining and ingotting after slag discharge.

A method for producing chromium-containing molten steel from a raw material including a chromium-containing raw material includes a first step in which a slag basicity before rough decarburization by oxygen blowing is adjusted to be not less than 1.5 and not more than 3.0, a slag basicity after rough decarburization by oxygen blowing is adjusted to be not less than 2.0 and not more than 3.5, and then tapping is performed while slag containing a chromium oxide generated by the oxygen blowing is made to remain in the furnace, and a second step in which the slag containing a chromium oxide made to remain is reduced by using a carbon source or a metal source newly added into the same furnace so that chromium is recovered into molten steel. The slag basicity is determined by dividing a CaO concentration by an SiO.sub.2 concentration on a mass basis in the slag.
