Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emitted during steelmaking is a significant contributor to global warming with 200 Mtonne of CO 2 emitted from this industry in the EU alone during 2016 [1].Today, the most CO 2intensive step of steelmaking is the reduction of iron ore, mostly consisting of hematite (Fe 2 O 3), to produce metallic iron (Fe).Several iron ore reduction processes are available [[2], [3], [4]].
BFBOF steelmaking process comes from coke. Even though roughly 40% of the sulphur in coal is removed in the coking process, typical sulphur levels in coke remain around %. Iron ore contains typically % sulphur and is only a minor source of sulphur in the steelmaking process [2,8]. In the BFBOF process there are four process steps where
that use electrical energy to reduce iron ore. In electrolysis, iron ore is dissolved in a solvent of silicon dioxide and calcium oxide at 1,600°C, and an electric current passed through it. Negativelycharged oxygen ions migrate to the positively charged anode, and the oxygen bubbles off. Positivelycharged iron ions migrate to the negatively
The major operations are: (1) coke production, (2) sinter production, (3) iron production, (4) iron preparation, (5) steel production, (6) semifinished product preparation, (7) finished product preparation, (8) heat and electricity supply, and (9) handling and transport of raw, intermediate, and waste materials.
and other impuritiees are reduce inside the converter. 12. to the pig iron, so the scrap is recicled. Oxygen is injected in order to burn the carbón and eliminate the impurities. After, slag is remove. And the liquid Steel is ready to get the final shape. Steel making process Download as a PDF or view online for free.
Currently, iron is extracted from ores such as hematite by carbothermic reduction. The extraction process includes several unit steps/processes that require largescale equipment and significant financial investments. Additionally, the extraction process produces a substantial amount of harmful carbon dioxide (CO2). Alternative to carbothermic reduction is the reduction by hydrogen plasma (HP ...

the integrated steelmaking process featuring the blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace (BF/BOF), where iron ore is the major source of iron units; and; electric steelmaking based on the electric arc furnace (EAF), where steel scrap or direct reduced iron (DRI) are the major iron feedstock materials. Figure 1: major steelmaking process routes.
Route 1: The integrated steelmaking route, based on the blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF), which uses raw materials including iron ore, coal, limestone and recycled steel.
In electric steelmaking, where residual elements are required to be low, between 1030% of the charge material may need to be Ore Based Metallics (pig iron or DRI) to compensate for the impurities in the scrap and to increase the carbon content of the charge. Pure iron units provided by the OBMs help electric steelmakers produce
Beneficiation methods. Beneficiation is a process where ore is reduced in size and valuable minerals are separated from the gangue minerals. Separation of valuable minerals from gangue minerals can be efficiently achieved by taking advantage of the differences in physical, surface, and magnetic properties.
Table 3 and Figure 3 show the life cycle evaluation endpoint of the steelmaking system, which is obtained by classifying and weighing all intermediate damage types. It can be seen from Figure 3 that molten iron, scrap steel, and auxiliary materials have a greater impact on the environment. Among them, molten iron has a greater damage value to natural resources, human health, and the ecological ...
The results indicated that approximately 2,317 tonnes (t) of zinc from steelmaking raw materials were input into the studied steel mill in 2013, of which % originated from iron ore fines, ...
The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of ironbearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from lowgrade ore. In the United States, predominant iron ore is taconite which is a hard, banded, lowgrade ore. Ninetynine percent of the crude iron ore produced in the United States is taconite.
This is commonly called secondary refining or ladle metallurgy and the processes include deoxidation, desulfurization and vacuum degassing. For stainless steelmaking the liquid ironchromiumnickel metal is refined in an argonoxygen decarburization vessel (AOD), a vacuum oxygen decarbur ization vessel (VOD) or a similar type process.
The outputs of this process are iron and carbon dioxide. The basic oxygen furnace is then used to convert the iron into steel. As a global average, this method of steelmaking emits around ...
Steel Manufacturing Process. To produce steel first the iron ore is heated and melted in a furnace. The impurities are then removed from the molten iron. Carbon and other required alloying elements are added to make steel. Modernday steelmaking is highly improved and specialized.
Additional Composition Adjustment by Sealed argon bubbling with Oxygen Blowing (CASOB) is started to operate in many integrated and largesize steel plant to produce highquality alloy steel; the operating processes of those equipment has been discussed in detail.

The electric arc furnace (EAF) represents the most important process route for recycling of steel and the second most productive steelmaking process overall. Considering the large production quantities, the EAF process is subject to continuous optimization, and even small improvements can lead to a significant reduction in resource consumption ...
