Abstract

Language:

The study describes techniques of recycling the gas cleaning plant (GCP) sludge generated during the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel making process. Two different experiments were conducted to gainfully utilize converter sludge in iron making and steel making. The experiments resulted in two different products namely lime sludge briquette (LSB) and dolomite sludge mix (DSM). While LSB is used as a coolant in steel making, DSM is used for sinter production. Each product offers cost-effective advantages and leads to a substantial reduction in waste disposal. This research particularly targets the slurry from BOF which is typically landfilled due to its high zinc content. Through the developed industrial process, both LSB and DSM provide viable environmental solutions as they recover iron and reduce landfill costs, ultimately leading to significant savings in steel making. This work illustrates a breakthrough in recycling processes within integrated steel plants, enhancing economic returns while contributing positively to waste reduction efforts.
