  • Society, Materials, and the Environment: the Case of Steel
    metals Review Society, Materials, and the Environment: The Case of Steel Jean-Pierre Birat IF Steelman, Moselle, 57280 Semécourt, France; [email protected]; Tel.: +333-8751-1117 Received: 1 February 2020; Accepted: 25 February 2020; Published: 2 March 2020 Abstract: This paper reviews the relationship between the production of steel and the environment as it stands today. It deals with raw material issues (availability, scarcity), energy resources, and generation of by-products, i.e., the circular economy, the anthropogenic iron mine, and the energy transition. The paper also deals with emissions to air (dust, Particulate Matter, heavy metals, Persistant Organics Pollutants), water, and soil, i.e., with toxicity, ecotoxicity, epidemiology, and health issues, but also greenhouse gas emissions, i.e., climate change. The loss of biodiversity is also mentioned. All these topics are analyzed with historical hindsight and the present understanding of their physics and chemistry is discussed, stressing areas where knowledge is still lacking. In the face of all these issues, technological solutions were sought to alleviate their effects: many areas are presently satisfactorily handled (the circular economy—a historical’ practice in the case of steel, energy conservation, air/water/soil emissions) and in line with present environmental regulations; on the other hand, there are important hanging issues, such as the generation of mine tailings (and tailings dam failures), the emissions of greenhouse gases (the steel industry plans to become carbon-neutral by 2050, at least in the EU), and the emission of fine PM, which WHO correlates with premature deaths. Moreover, present regulatory levels of emissions will necessarily become much stricter.

The end goal is that of highlighting the steelworks’ main hot spots and identifying potential options for environmental improvement. The development for such an analysis is based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of steel production with a cradle to casting plant gate approach that covers the stages from raw material extraction to solid steel slab production. The inventory results have highlighted the large solid waste production, especially in terms of slag, which could be reused in other industries as secondary raw materials. Other reuses, in accordance with the circular economy paradigm, could encompass the energy waste involved in the steelmaking process. The most burdening lifecycle phases are the ones linked to blast furnace and coke oven operations.

  • PPT Engineeringcompany Has Been Designing and Developing The
    METALLURGY PT Engineering company has been designing and developing the program of electro-hydraulic systems Pin metallurgy ever since 1976, practically since its founding. Since then, until the present day, the company has been constantly improving its design solutions in order to bring them into line with the latest requirements of technology, quality and reliability. Manufacturing of electro-hydraulic systems for process equipment for production of coke in metallurgical plants is the most important segment of PPT Engineering’s presence in metallurgy. Electro-hydraulic systems for coke machines are designed to provide sequential movement of mechanisms on pertaining machines during one work cycle on a coke battery. The task is accurate positioning of cylinders as actuation elements of mechanisms, which are designed for large external loads. The specific feature of electro-hydraulic systems for coke equipment is 20 to 25 individual actuation systems on one machine with central hydraulic suplly, whereby the desired flow and pressure, being the basic parameters of actuation systems, are provided for each mechanism. Electro-hydraulic systems are installed in the following plants: • In cold and hot rolling mills for production and transport of sheet metal, profiles, wire, rods, beams, pipes, elbows etc. (furnaces, traction benches for pipes, winders, shears, presses...) • For blast furnace serving (drilling machine, manipulator and hydrostatic clay gun) • For serving in coke ovens (dosing coaches, coke pusher cars, door extractors, coke guide cars and coke quenching cars and locomotive for hauling wagons for coke quenching) Some of the most importand references are: • Manufacturing of hydraulic blocks for Dave McKoy company, for the requirements of Železara (Ironworks) Smederevo • Manufacturing of complete hydraulic system for roll stand no.

  • Riduzione Diretta Use of Dri/HBI in Ironmaking and Steelmaking Furnaces
    Riduzione diretta use of drI/HBI in ironmaking and steelmaking furnaces c. di cecca, S. Barella, c. Mapelli, A. F. ciuffini, A. Gruttadauria, d. Mombelli, E. Bondi The iron and steel production processes are characterized by a considerable environmental impact. The reduction of this impact, in particular emissions, is the target of modern society; this goal can be achieved through process optimization. The two main production processes, the blast furnace one and the one from electric arc furnace, are of different specificities and therefore different levers are present in order to decrease the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere. The adoption of pre reduced iron charge for these processes seems to be a good operating practice. A further reduction of pollutants linked to the coke oven batteries can be carried out thanks to the reduction of loaded cast iron within the converter. The decrease of the hot charge means that a lower amount of coal is consequently required. The electrical cycle, due to its structure, has a lower environmental impact, but the maximization of the process yield is a desirable objective for the purpose of a reduction of the environmental impact and economic optimization of such a steel cycle. The direct-reduced iron (DRI), due to its operative flexibility, is a suitable element to achieve this target.

DOMAŃSKI∗∗ MODELLING AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF HARDENING PHENOMENA OF TOOLS STEEL ELEMENTS MODELOWANIE I ANALIZA NUMERYCZNA ZJAWISK HARTOWANIA ELEMENTÓW ZE STALI NARZĘDZIOWYCH This research the complex model of hardening of tool steel was shown. Thermal phenomena, phase transformations and mechanical phenomena were taken into considerations. In the modelling of thermal phenomena the heat transfer equations has been solved by Finite Elements Method by Petrov-Galerkin formulations. The possibility of thermal phenomena analysing of feed hardening has been obtained in this way. The diagrams of continuous heating (CHT) and continuous cooling (CCT) of considered steel are used in the model of phase transformations. Phase altered fractions during the continuous heating (austenite) are obtained in the model by formula Johnson-Mehl and Avrami and modified equation Koistinen and Marburger. The fractions ferrite, pearlite or bainite, in the process of cooling, are marked in the model by formula Johnson-Mehl and Avrami. The forming fraction of martensite is identified by Koistinen and Marburger equation and modified Koistinen and Marburger equation. The stresses and strains fields are obtained from solutions by FEM equilibrium equations in rate form. Thermophysical values in the constitutive relations are depended upon both the temperature and the phase content. The Huber-Misses condition with the isotropic strengthening for the creation of plastic strains is used. However the Leblond model to determine transformations plasticity was applied. The numerical analysis of thermal fields, phase fractions, stresses and strain associated deep hardening and superficial hardening of elements made of tool steel were done.

Red mud represents one of the metallurgical by-products more difficult to dispose of due to the high alkalinity (pH 10–13) and storage techniques issues. Up to now, economically viable commercial processes for the recovery and the reuse of these waste were not available. Due to the high content of iron oxide (30–60% wt.) red mud ranks as a potential raw material for the production of iron through a direct route. In this work, a novel process at the laboratory scale to produce iron sponge ( 1300 C) or cast iron (> 1300 C) using blast furnace ≤ ◦ ◦ sludge as a reducing agent is presented. Red mud-reducing agent mixes were reduced in a muffle furnace at 1200, 1300, and 1500 ◦C for 15 min. Pure graphite and blast furnace sludges were used as reducing agents with different equivalent carbon concentrations. The results confirmed the blast furnace sludge as a suitable reducing agent to recover the iron fraction contained in the red mud.
