A steel continuous casting method that can effectively reduce center segregation occurring inside a cast piece is proposed. This steel continuous casting method is characterized in that cooling of a cast piece is performed with a water volume density per surface area of the cast piece in a first section set within a range of 50 to 2000 L/(m 2 × min) or lower. The first section is a range along a cast piece withdrawing direction in a continuous casting machine, from a start point at which an average value of a solid phase ratio along a thickness direction at a final solidified part in a cast piece width direction is 0.8 or lower to an end point at which the average value of the solid phase ratio along the thickness direction at the final solidified part in the cast piece width direction is higher than the solid phase ratio at the start point but not higher than 1.0.

The heat transfer model calculator then corrects errors in the temperature of the mold copper plate and in the amount of heat removed from the mold by correcting an overall heat transfer coefficient between the mold copper plate and the solidified shell.

In producing high-quality steel with use of copper-containing steel scraps as an iron source, the copper-containing steel scraps are melted with addition of carbon to produce hot metal for steelmaking, then, copper contained in the hot metal is removed by sulfur-containing flux, and sulfur contained in the hot metal is removed. With this method, the copper in the steel scraps can be removed efficiently and without the need for large facilities. Preferably, the sulfur-containing flux used is flux having Na 2 S as the main component. The treatment for removing copper in the hot metal is preferably carried out with use of refining equipment with mechanical stirrer or by the flux injecting method. Besides, it is preferable that a shaft furnace having a coke bed formed inside is used to produce hot metal having a higher concentration of sulfur for the copper removal treatment.

The invention provides a method for recovering (collecting) iron and phosphorus from steelmaking slag, which includes a first step in which phosphorus-containing steelmaking slag such as dephosphorization slag is reduced using a reducing agent containing for example carbon, Si or Al to reduce iron oxide and phosphorus oxide in the slag and to recover them as phosphorus-containing molten iron, a second step in which the steelmaking slag from which the iron oxide and the phosphorus oxide have been removed is used as a CaO source in a sintering step and the resultant sintered ore is recycled to a blast furnace, a third step in which the phosphorus-containing molten iron recovered by the reduction is dephosphorized to a phosphorus concentration in the phosphorus-containing molten iron of not more than 0.1% by mass, thereby phosphorus being concentrated in a CaO-containing flux, and a fourth step in which the phosphorus-containing molten iron dephosphorized to a phosphorus concentration of not more than 0.1% by mass is mixed as an iron source with a blast furnace hot metal. The method thus enables inexpensive recovery of phosphorus and iron from the steelmaking slag, and the phosphorus and the iron recovered are effectively used as resources.
