SUMMARY:Electric smelter technology
DESCRIPTION:The majority of steel to date is made by BF-BOF, but the iron- and steelmaking industry is more frequently evaluating alternative plant configurations to reduce CO2 emissions. These include DRP and EAF technologies, but also new electric smelter technology to convert low-grade DRI pellets to hot metal to retain BOF steelmaking plants. The development of this technology eliminates future constraints to DR-grade pellets and could allow usage of slag for the production of cement. However, there are many challenges in the process design of industrial electric smelter technology including carburization particularly when hydrogen is used for the production of DRI. This paper will address potential plant configurations including electric smelter technology. It will also address a preliminary assessment of electric smelter technology and metallurgy and identify challenges and risks.
