Abstract

Language:

Conventional (anthracite, calcined petroleum coke, and coke) and non-conventional (biochar, and biocokes (3 wt.% torrefied wood, and 3 wt.% petroleum coke + 3 wt.% charcoal)) carbon-bearing sources have been studied for their use in electric arc furnace (EAF)-based steel production. Commonly, for the use of carbon sources in EAFs, one of the important properties is the content of fixed carbon, the release of volatiles as well as the elemental composition of inorganics. The properties of six carbon sources were analyzed by determining the proximate analysis, X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), coke reactivity index (CRI), and strength after reaction with CO2 (CSR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) pore size and volume analysis, ash chemical analysis, optical and scanning microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results indicate biocoke as a promising option to replace conventional carbon sources in EAFs, providing an environmentally sustainable alternative and demonstrating comparable properties for effective steel production.
