The iron and steel industry is under considerable pressure to continuously reduce the levels of generated dioxins and other harmful emissions from process offgas. In the early 1990s VAI commenced with the investigation of new offgas cleaning systems for sinter plants and electric arc furnaces (EAF) which resulted in a considerably improved offgas-cleaning efficiency. This paper outlines the technological solutions of the newly developed gas-treatment systems and application results in the steel industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
