Pre-processing of metallurgical wastes by direct reduction for recovery of iron, zinc and lead

Objective

The project aims at developing a recycling route for the various metallurgical wastes that would require no or limited pre-treatment steps of waste materials before processing. The production of a pre-reduced and agglomerated material strong enough to be readily charged to existing melting units such as BF, cupola furnace, EAF or SAF for the recovery of its iron content and recovering high time and lead metals as a separate saleable by-product are further aims. Pre-processing of wastes using the COMET direct reduction process will allow fulfilling all the objectives of the project. The results of this project will minimise the cost of wastes treatment and recycling and also will reduce the amount of waste materials to be dumped.
