Slags are an indispensable tool for the pyrometallurgical industry to extract and purify metals
at competitive prices. Large volumes are produced annually, leading to important …

The concept of “active tundish slag” aims definitely at improving of steel cleanliness by
tailoring a proper tundish slag. In this project, active tundish metallurgy was investigated and …

Metallurgical slags are produced at a massive rate of over 750 Mt/year, and carry a thermal
energy equivalent to 40 Mt/year of coal. The potential mineral and thermal energy values of …

Slag cleaning is important from both an economical and environmental perspective. Dump
slags from copper smelting prove to be a valuable source of base metals, but the abundance …

Waste heat of metallurgic slags at 1450–1650° C are the largest secondary energy which
are still not reused in iron and steel industry. How to reuse such huge slag and its waste …

The analysis, development, and/or operation of high temperature processes that involve the
production of ferrous and nonferrous metals, alloys, and refractory and ceramic materials are …

Ironmaking and steelmaking slags are the dominant byproducts in metallurgical processes,
and the up-cycling and re-cycling of slags are essential to the sustainability of the …

Traditionally, iron ore has been reduced with coke in a blast furnace and the hot metal
product of the blast furnace containing carbon, manganese, silicon, sulphur and …

Four types of steel slags, a ladle slag, a BOF (basic oxygen furnace) slag and two different
EAF (electric arc furnace) slags, were characterized and modified by semi-rapid cooling in …

Waste heat recovery from high temperature slags represents the latest potential way to
remarkably reduce the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of the steel industry. The …
