In-Flight Plasma Reduction of Electric Arc Furnace Dust in Carbon Monoxide

Abstract: In a typical electric arc furnace (EAF) operation for melting iron-containing scrap, approximately 1 to 2% of the charge is converted into dust which is collected in the baghouse. These EAF dusts have been classified as hazardous wastes due to their lead, cadmium and hexavalent chromium contents; however, these dusts also contain large quantities of zinc and iron whose recovery is economically attractive. In the present work, a high zinc-containing EAF dust was processed in-flight using a 24 kVA AC plasma arc … Show more

“…Approximately 70 % of this waste is placed in landfills, while 30 % is used to zinc recover. The processing cost of 1 ton of EAFD in the USA, for example, is around $150-200 [1][2][3][4].…”

“…Although numerous reducing agents have been proposed for EAF dust, such as various carbonaceous materials [26][27][28][29], carbon monoxide [30][31][32][33][34][35][36], hydrogen [37][38][39][40][41], methane [42] and metallic iron [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50], the favoured reducing agent is coal. In addition, the combustion of the coal can provide a significant amount of energy for the endothermic reduction reactions.…”

“…Stainless steel dust (SSD) is generated during s45tainless steel production due to ejection of metal and slag droplets by bursting of bubbles on the bath surface (Delhaes et al, 1993), and collected at off-gas cleaning system. Approximately, 20 kg SSD per ton of crude steel is formed in the EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) process (Best and Pickles, 2001;Sofilić et al, 2004) and 10 kg in the AOD (Argon Oxygen Decarburization) process (Delhaes et al, 1993). The SSD contains significant amounts of valuable metals, such as Zn, Cr, Fe and Ni, in the form of complex oxides (Delhaes et al, 1993;Laforest and Duchesne, 2006;Ri and Chu, 2015;Yang et al, 2019).…”
