Objective
This demonstration project is meant to develop a technology for the treatment of EAF dusts whose products can either be recycled in the EAF (ferroalloy) or resold on the market (HG or SHG-quality metallic Zn) or are inert (slag). Dusts to be treated are those arising from the manufacture of carbon and special steels - especially stainless steel - at the electric-arc furnace. This technology would be characterised by low environmental impact and would be developed on a highly innovative pilot line including a pyrometallurgical treatment followed by hydrometallurgical process with final electrolysis.
Particular aspects of this technology are: the ability to thermally destroy any dioxin that may be present in the dusts, to generate intermediate by- products that do not need an additional processing at the EAF, to produce high purity metallic zinc, to treat other residuals (in solid, liquid form) that contain metals.
