Objective

This project will design, construct and run a pilot line with a nominal capacity of 1 tonne per day (at 20% humidity) of iron-rich waste from the steel industry. After drying, deferrization and mixing the product will be fed to a pre-heater and on to a rotary kiln. It is then cooled and packaged for use as red pigments in ceramic glazes, in the cement industry, and in the manufacture of roof tiles. The whole process will be automated to ensure that a consistent product with closely defined composition is always produced.
