Abstract:
A method of ironmaking using full-oxygen hydrogen-rich gas which includes hot transferring and hot charging the high-temperature coke, sinter and pellet into the ironmaking furnace through transferring and charging device, and injecting oxygen and hydrogen-rich combustible gas at a predetermined temperature into the ironmaking furnace through the oxygen tuyere and the gas tuyere disposed at the ironmaking furnace, respectively. It also provides an apparatus for ironmaking using full-oxygen hydrogen-rich gas which includes a raw material system, a furnace roof gas system, a coke oven gas injecting system, a dust injecting system, a slag dry-granulation and residual heat recovering system and an oxygen system. Additionally an apparatus and method for hot transferring and hot charging of ironmaking raw material is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method and system is used to process slag material to yield by-products including a finished iron rich product and a finished low iron fines product. The by-products may include a finished high iron product and a finished medium iron product. The method and system include size classifying the material into a plurality of sized groups prior to using magnetic separation to separate at least one of the sized groups into two portions having differing magnetic susceptibilities. The method and system may include more than one phase of size classifying the material into a plurality of sized groups and using magnetic separation to separate at least one of the sized groups into portions, where the average size of the material remaining after one phase is reduced prior to the subsequent phase.
Abstract:
A method and system of fixing carbon dioxide is provided. After metal ion components are extracted from, e.g., natural mineral or steel slag through acid treatment, carbon dioxide is injected to fix carbon dioxide by carbonating the same. Since the procedure of pH adjustment is unnecessary, the reaction is carried out effectively and a continuous process is enabled. Accordingly, the disclosed method of fixing carbon dioxide enables effective removal of carbon dioxide produced from the steelmaking industry, thereby significantly reducing greenhouse gas emission and allowing recycling of the discarded steel slag.

Abstract:
A slag composition containing steelmaking slag and from about 0.3 to about 10 weight percent of reducing agent. The steelmaking slag contains from about 20 to about 55 weight percent of calcium oxide, from about 8 to about 50 weight percent of ferrous oxide, from about 4 to about 20 weight percent of magnesium oxide, from about 8 to about 30 weight percent of silicon oxide, from 0.5 to about 10 weight per cent aluminum oxide, and from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent of manganese oxide. The reducing agent contains from about 15 to about 70 weight percent of calcium carbide and from about 10 to about 50 weight percent silicon carbide, wherein the ratio of calcium carbide to silicon carbide is between 0.7 and 7.
Abstract:
The invention makes public an environment-friendly non-noise matte granulation technique. Melted matte flows out from the chute, then gas is sprayed on the matte through spray facilities; the gas disperses the melted matte into a large amount of tiny liquid drops, and cools the dispersed tiny drops to semi-melted or solid copper grains; in the following dropping course, the copper grains are quenched by pressurized cold water; finally, copper grains drop to the cold-water pond along with the pressurized cold water for further cooling, and the produced sand-like mattes are sent to the next procedure through dehydration-and-transportation system. It can overcome explosion and prevent chemical reaction in quenching, reduce noise pollution, and has the properties of simple procedure and easy operation to settle the problems existed in water quenching of matte.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for recovery of iron from copper slag. This invention particularly relates to a process for recovery of iron from a waste like granulated copper slag generated during the production of copper from its ores by a pyrometallurgical method. The present invention will be useful for solving the ecological and environmental issues with an added economic advantage of utilising the dump slag generated in the copper plants. Novelty of the present invention is process for the preparation of value added products viz grinding grade cast iron using copper slag generated during the processing of copper concentrate which otherwise is considered as a waste. Other novel features of the inventions are creating a homogeneous mixture of slag, reductant and flux so that reaction kinetics is more than conventional process. The reductant is used in such a way so that maximum recovery of iron can take place.
Abstract:
In a method for treating slags or slag mixtures having iron oxide contents of >5 wt.-%, in particular steelworks slags, in which the steel slags optionally mixed with other slags are charged onto a metal bath, a steel bath having a carbon content of 2.5 wt.-% C, by introducing carbon or carbon carriers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for processing steel slags and iron carriers such as, e.g., electric furnace slags, converter slags, fine ores, dusts from the production of steel and millscale, for recovering pig iron and environmentally safe slags. A molten slag bath and a molten iron bath are used at a volume ratio of between 0.5:1 and 1.5:1 and carbon carriers are introduced into the bath and hot air is top-blown. From the starting slags and iron carriers, a mixed slag having a basicity CaO/SiO2 of between 1.2 and 2.5 is adjusted, which is transferred into a hearth-type furnace or a ladle, wherein hot air is top-blown for afterburning at a post-combustion degree PC = CO 2 + H 2 O CO + CO 2 + H 2 + H 2 O of between 0.70 and 0.85 the CO formed from the carbon in the bath. The hot offgases from the furnace or the ladle are drawn off tangentially to the axis of the mouth of the hot air feeding lance.
Abstract:
A method of solidifying a steel-making slag is performed by subjecting a mixture of a steel-making slag containing at least about 50% by weight of a powdery steel-making slag having a particle size not greater than about 5 mm and a substance containing at least about 30% by weight of SiO2 (e.g., a fly ash and/or the fine powder of a granulated blast furnace slag) to a hydration reaction. The resulting solidified material contains at least about 20% of a tobermorite phase, has high strength and is suitable as an inorganic material useful as a roadbed material, building and civil engineering materials, etc.
