Upgrading and utilisation of residual iron oxide materials for hot metal production

Objective

The proposed project focuses on development of innovative pyrometallurgical technologies for recycling especially of residuals from stainless steel making. One part deals with the briquetting of stainless steel residuals and direct recycling into the EAF.

The other part deals with the development of the innovative inductive heated coke bed technology as a key process for recycling especially stainless steel residuals in parallel to the EAF with a complete recovery of alloying elements for steelmaking, zinc for non ferrous metals use and slag usable for building applications as an approach for a zero waste technology in stainless steel making.

To lower the electric energy demand the inductive heated coke bed shall be charged by molten material as well as preheated coke. For the experimental investigations an existing flash melter shall be used for charging the molten material. The charged coke shall be treated in a special coke pre-heater.
