Abstract:

Though technologies of separating useful materials from waste streams with an in-process separation strategy might be found sporadically in industrial production processes, in-process separation, as a whole, has not been widely studied in literature. Application of in-process separation in recycling of EAF dust is aimed at reducing steelmaking plants’ cost for treatment of EAF dust and improving overall recycling of EAF dust, but not burying existing EAF dust recyclers. While IPS can be considered to be an established recycling strategy, application of this technology on an electric arc furnace surely is radically new.
