Effect of Metallurgical Waste Properties on Determining Suitable Recycling Method

Abstract:

Recycling of solid waste generated from metallurgical industries will avoid disposal of wastes, enhance the use of secondary raw material fines and save costs. Numerous hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes, or a combination of both, have been proposed for the utilization of metallurgical waste. Due to insufficient knowledge of the properties of these wastes, most of these attempts still have some technical difficulties. Investigation the properties of metallurgical waste is needed before choosing the suitable recycling process.The present work describes the chemical, morphological and mineralogical properties of blast furnace sludge (BFS) and basic oxygen furnace sludge (BOFS) produced in steel plants in Finland. The investigations indicated that BFS and BOFS show significant contents of iron and coke. The sludges also contain considerable concentrations of unwanted elements such as Zn. The authors propose that microwave dezincing followed by briquetting or pelletization represent a potential method for sludges recycling. Owing to high Fe and C content it can be utilized as self-reducing material.
