The in-plant by-product melting (IPBM) process

Objective

The "In Plant By-Product" (IPBM) process is a new concept for the total transformation of steel plant slags and all other in-plant by-products into value-added products, which has the potential to achieve a "zero-waste" steel plant. The concept is based either on slag reduction or on utilizing smelting and vitrification. The reactor used is a DC hollow electrode furnace, where slag is added in the liquid or solid state together with other by-products and modifying agents. Pilot plant tests will be carried out on a 5 ton scale, mathematical modelling will be performed and vitrification for product valorization will be studied.
