Objective
The chrome content in the slags from stainless steel making is one of the limiting factors for their further utilisation. The lack for further utilisation is their environmental behaviour, due to the leaching of chrome. In the previous project (7210-CB/124) the fundamentals of the chrome reduction in EAF slags and the stable binding of chrome into slag's spinel phases has been investigated. The aim of this research programme is to verify these results by industrial scale tests in steel works, by varying the slag composition, increasing spinel forming slag compounds, by developing effective reduction techniques, increasing the ability for slag foaming and binding the remaining chrome into stable spinel phases in the slag by treatment of the slag outside the melting furnace.
