Pilot and demonstration project for processing iron oxides derived from HCl regeneration through rapid thermal treatment in a vertical shaft furnace

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7215-CA-118

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1996

End date 30 June 2000

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 2 123 500,00

EU contribution € 1 061 750,00

Coordinated by

EKO STAHL

Objective

Large quantities of calcined iron oxide are obtained as a by-product of the regeneration of hydrochloric acid pickling solution and are currently used as an input material for producing hard or soft ferrites and paint pigments. Initial examinations have demonstrated the possibility of transforming this material into a high quality product for the production of hard ferrite by means of a short heat treatment in a vertical shaft furnace.
