The slag obtained in smelting has a low content of zinc, lead and copper. The total content of these metals does not exceed 0.2%. The iron content is also low and, with one exception, does not exceed 1%. This indicates high recovery rates of zinc to dust and iron to alloy. This slag composition allows its use as an aggregate.
Melting reduction modification is a process in which the iron-containing modified slag and the iron oxides of the steel slag are reduced into metallic iron. The reduction order of iron oxide is from high to low price, followed by Fe 2 O 3 —Fe 3 O 4 —FeO—Fe. The raw materials of the melting reduction process derive from type slags …
Slag is the by-product of iron- and steelmaking processes. Normally, around half to one tonne of slag would be generated for yielding one tonne of rolled iron or steel (Lobato et al. 2015).It was reported that the world steel production was 1.9 billion tonnes in 2016, which suggested that at least around 1 billion tonnes of slag is produced during the …
In order to remove phosphorus element from steelmaking slag and decrease iron loss, malic acid was selected as the leaching agent to dissolve steelmaking slag. Firstly, the influences of different factors, such as malic acid concentration, slag particle size, temperature, liquid/solid ratio and stirring speed, on the leaching ratios of …
Slag in ironmaking and steelmaking processes has several metallurgical functions such as preventing contamination by atmosphere, providing thermal …
The smelting process can be divided into three stages, namely decomposition of high-valence sulphide, oxidation of sulphide, and matte smelting and slagging reaction (Fig. 1).The efficiency of matte smelting and matte-slag separation, as well as the extent of copper losses to slag are mainly affected by the oxidation/reduction potential, matte …
Iron recovery from a lead slag in Henan province was carried out with the technique of coal-based direct reduction followed by magnetic separation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the transformation of iron-containing minerals and the particle size of metallic iron generated by coal reduction. The results …
We used these research results to develop a scheme for commercial-scale recycling of SUNP slag waste, with the matte being separated from the slag in an ore smelting furnace, and the iron being separated from the slag in a ladle furnace; in the latter case, the resulting metal can be refined to GOST specifications.
The iron element in electric arc furnace (EAF) slag is extremely difficult to recycle due to the low specific magnetic susceptibility of the RO phase (a solid solution of FeO, MgO, CaO, and MnO). Landfilling EAF slag is strictly forbidden for environmental consideration because of poisonous Cr6+ leaching. The original RO phase could be …
In terms of the environmental and economic benefits of slag recycling, there iare significant un-utilized or disposed portions of the slags that have the potential to be more effectively utilized. ... (2016) Separation of iron phase and P-bearing slag phase from gaseous-reduced, high-phosphorous oolitic iron ore at 1473 K (1200 & #xB0;C) by ...
Slag recycling and reuse – GREENY approach. The global demand for raw materials is growing exponentially with the world's urbanization and technological progress. The growing raw materials consumption is an economical threat due to the increasing scarcity of critical materials, but also an environmental threat with increased amounts of ...
During steel production, the impurities in the hot metal react with the fluxes forming the steel slag. Chemical constituents of this steel slag (SS) are relevant to iron/steelmaking or blended cement manufacture. Harmful impurities present in it, however, limit its recycling to these applications. Japan, Europe, and the US consume a …
Influence of iron oxide content on viscosity at 1600°C. A slag sample with FeO ≈ 18, MgO ≈ 11, CaO ≈ 43, Al 2 O 3 ≈ 1.6, ... Slag recycling in the steel job constitutes a relevant way of reusing with important economic impact on refractory costs. The coating and ing practices are very useful in BOF converters and EAF.
2.1 Blast Furnace Slag (BFS): Physico-chemical Properties. Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a coproduct of the pig iron production and has been widely used in various applications for many decades. Two types of BFS are generated from steel plants: (1) air-cooled BFS and (2) granulated (crystallized) BFS.
Copper smelting slag is a solution of molten oxides created during the copper smelting and refining process, and about 1.5 million tons of copper slag are generated annually in Korea. The oxides in copper smelting slag include ferrous (FeO), ferric oxide (Fe2O3), silica (SiO2 from flux), alumina (AI2O3), calcia (CaO) and magnesia …
The cooled steel slag is poured from the pots to the beds in the tippling site and then passes through a series of processes such as breaking, sieving, classifying, and recycling of iron. Approximately 400 kg of slag per …
Copper Slag (CS) is a solid waste produced during the industrial smelting of copper (Gorai et al., 2003).The current pyrometallurgical copper smelting process is mainly through the Ausmet furnace (Fig. 1); the furnace slag goes through the flotation process to obtain copper matter, yielding a composition of CS corresponding to 30–40 % of Fe, …
