7.1.2 Electric Arc Furnace Technology. In the steelmaking process that uses an electric arc furnace, the primary raw material is scrap metal. The scrap metal is melted and refined using electrical energy. During melting, oxidation of phosphorus, silicon, manganese, carbon, and other materials occurs, and a slag containing some of these ...

The slag volume represents loss of material and energy both. This is dependent on quality of coke and ore used in the furnace. The Indian slag practice is high due to raw material quality. The average Indian blast furnace generates 345 kg ton − 1 hot metal slag against 150 kg ton − 1 hot metal global best practice [28].

actual U.S. ferrous slag production, but domestic slag sales1 in 2021 were estimated to be 17 million tons valued at about $460 million. Blast furnace slag was about 49% of the tonnage sold and accounted for 87% of the total value of slag, most of which was granulated. Steel slag produced from basic oxygen and electric arc furnaces accounted for

Handling of blast furnace slag is an important aspect of modern blast … means of processing blast furnace slag in the … Blast Furnace gas cleaning systems; Blast Furnace … » More detailed! Metallurgy – Modern Methods of Iron Ore Smelting. The ore is loaded into a blast furnace along with … from two tap-holes at the bottom of the furnace.

Slag is a high volume by-product from the metal smelting process. Globally, hundreds of millions of tonnes of molten slags are produced each year. Slag is commonly air-cooled in large pits and landfilled or used for road-based materials after crushing and screening. In some modern integrated steelworks, molten blast furnace slag is granulated ...

In summary, the blast furnace process can be characterized as a counter current, multi-phase heat and mass exchange reactor. Oxygen is removed from oxidic burden constituents and transferred to an ...

The blast furnace is the first step in producing steel from iron oxides. The first blast furnaces appeared in the 14th century and produced one ton per day. Even though equipment is improved and higher production rates can be achieved, the processes inside the blast furnace remain the same. The blast furnace uses coke, iron ore and …

Abstract One of the main methods to intensify blast-furnace smelting is to improve the quality of the sintered raw materials. The article presents the study results of the influence of the composition and metallurgical properties of various Mikhailovsky GOK pellets introduced into the blast-furnace charge based on the technical and economic …

Slag Granulation. Slag handling is an important aspect of modern blast furnace operation. Today, blast furnace slag is a value added product for the cement industry, using granulated slag sand as CO2-friendly substitute of clinker in cement production. Paul Wurth has developed the INBA® slag granulation process, incorporating our proprietary ...

Reduce, reuse, and recycle are important techniques for waste management. These become significant for improving environmental and economic condition of industries. Integrated steel industries are generating huge amounts of steel slag as waste through the blast furnace and Linz–Donawitz (LD) process. Presently, these wastes are disposed …

10.2.2 Blast furnace slag. Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a by-product from iron production in blast furnaces, which are fed by a mixture of iron-ore, coke and limestone. In the process, the iron ore is reduced to iron while all remaining materials form the slag, which is tapped off as a molten liquid and cooled.

Separated from the slag, cast iron proceeds into hot metal ladles, or into mixer ladles. Slag is poured into slag pots through slag runners. Blast-furnace foundation. Modern furnace together with all constructions and metal structures, lining (brickwork) and burden stock and melting products can have a mass of more than 30 thousand tons.

The most common process for granulating blast furnace slag involves the use of high water volume, high pressure water jets in direct contact with the molten blast furnace slag at a ratio of approximately 10 to 1 by mass. The molten blast furnace slag is quenched almost immediately to form a material generally smaller than a #4 sieve.

Generally, according to the cooling rate, blast furnace slag processing can be divided into quenching, half-quenching and slow cold. Because of their different properties, the products, which mainly consist of pelletized blast-furnace slag, expanded slag ball and dry slag, have different function. 3 Water-Quenching process
