National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Electric Furnace Steelmaking Dusts - A Zinc Raw Material.

PB265935

Publication Date	1977
Personal Author	Higley, L. W.; Fine, M. M.
Page Count	22
Abstract	Particulates generated in electric furnace (EF) steelmaking constitute approximately 1 to 2 percent of the charge. This flue dust is a rich source of zinc substantially higher than ore, and although there are several processes for recovering the metal, none are considered economic in the United States. The present report reviews some of this technology. Also included are results of Bureau of Mines reduction-volatilization tests on pelletized EF dusts which achieved high recoveries of zinc. The data are sufficiently encouraging to warrant consideration of EF dusts as raw material for primary zinc smelters.
Keywords	Flue dust Materials recovery Zinc Steelmaking Vaporization Roasting Industrial wastes Solid waste disposal Electric arc furnaces Metal recycling Particulates
