Cost of energy saving and CO2 emissions reduction in China’s iron and steel sector

Integrated carbon dioxide/sludge gasification using waste heat from hot slags: Syngas production and sulfur dioxide fixation

“…Amongst the traditional sectors, the steel industry contributes to a large part of energy consumption and GHG emission. Currently, the energy consumption per ton crude steel in China is $15% higher than the international advanced level (Li and Zhu, 2014) and it has been evaluated that the heat recovery from hot slags represents a great potential to reduce energy consumption http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2015.01.061 0960-8524/Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Optimal operation strategy and gas utilization in a future integrated steel plant

“…An investigation on cost of energy saving and CO 2 reduction in China shows that some of the technologies may not be cost effective in the current situation based on the fuel price and estimated CO 2 cost (Li and Zhu, 2014). This would be an even more important challenge for steel industry within EU, where the role of restrictions and different scenarios of operation of an integrated system, including novel technologies, should be investigated to find the best path of operation.…”

Thermodynamic analysis and optimization of an air Brayton cycle for recovering waste heat of blast furnace slag

“…China's iron and steel industry faces huge pressure in energy-saving and environmental protection [1][2][3][4][5][6]. A lot of waste heat is generated in steel-making process, so the waste heat recovery is one of the keys to save energy and reduce emission [7,8].…”
