The paper focuses on reducing the energy intensity of ladle metallurgy as part of steel production and the associated reduction of pollutant emissions. This can be achieved by optimising the thermal work of metallurgical aggregates in terms of the impact on energy consumption and the environmental burden of steel production. It is about minimising the heat loss of liquid steel in the casting ladle throughout the entire process from the melting equipment, through the extra-furnace processing, to the continuous casting of the steel.
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.
