Recovering Iron and Zinc Values from Steel Plant Dusts with Simultaneous Destruction of Organic Wastes: The EnvIRONment Process
The EnvIRONment process has been developed to treat steel works dust
and organic wastes simultaneously. A pelletised feed is fed into a special
DC electric furnace, the pellets becoming immersed in a molten slag
above a carbon saturated bath. The iron oxide in the pellets is reduced and
carburised whilst the organics are broken down to carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, hydrogen and water vapour. Volatile metals are
vapourised and collected in the baghouse. Over two years of trials in a
100 kg DC electric are furnace has brought the process to the stage where
it is ready for commercialisation.
