摘要
The dust generated during electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking contains zinc and lead. The dust can be injected into the furnace to enhance the zinc and lead grades in the dust; however, the kinetics of this operation is poorly understood. The kinetics was studied in experiments in which dust was injected into 70 kg heats of iron or steel in an induction furnace. Supplemental additions of carbon and oxygen to overcome the heat load on the system were also investigated. The zinc content increased from 16% Zn to 60 - 80% Zn. About 50% of the zinc in the dust dissolved in the iron or steel. The ZnO in the dust is shown to be reduced by dissolved carbon and the zinc vapour dissolved in the iron. The implications for EAF dust recycling are discussed. © Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.
