The paper proposes a method of processing steelmaking slag in order to save resources. The authors propose to include partial granulation of steelmaking slags in the processing scheme. This option includes draining the slag melt from the steelmaking unit into ladles and dividing the slag melt into two parts, one of which is enriched in iron. The resulting product can be recommended for use in construction, in agriculture as fertilizers, as well as as a slag-forming flux in steelmaking. During the experiments, the possibility of pyrometallurgical reduction of iron from metallurgical slag was revealed. The influence of the reduction temperature on the yield of iron from the slag is established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
