SUMMARY:Advanced melting furnace technology for green steel production
DESCRIPTION:The future of steelmaking requires changes to achieve significant reduction of green house gas emissions, using new process flowsheets. One approach commonly considered is the use of direct reduced iron (DRI) with an electrical arc furnace (EAF); however, this poses significant challenges when using lower grade ores / pellets and when using hydrogen-DRI. This paper describes a method to improve the process yield and efficiency, using an electric melting furnace. The melting furnace efficiently converts DRI into pig iron, for downstream use in an EAF or basic oxygen furnace (BOF). The melting furnace leverages advanced furnace technology developed over 60+ years for iron / ferro-nickel applications. This new approach eases the shift to green steelmaking by using existing facilities and pellet supply chains, and provides higher yields and reduced lifecycle costs.
