DULUTH ENTERTAINMENT CONVENTION CENTER Minnesota Short Courses Monday, April 11, 2016 All courses are held at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center (DECC) Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) and Metallurgical Iron 8:00 am – 4:00 pm Cost: $125 per person This one-day course includes a combination of theoretical and practical content, providing attend- ees with valuable training related to the production, utilization, and economic market comparisons of blast furnace, direct reduced iron (DRI), and metallurgical iron grade concentrate. The course will start with a discussion of mineral process flowsheet circuit designs that may be used to eco- nomically produce direct reduced iron and metallurgical iron grade iron concentrates as compared to blast furnace grade concentrate. The course will then focus on the industrial application and utilization of DRI and metallurgical grade concentrate products including desired quality character- istics, potential markets, and methods of steel making. The course will conclude with an economic comparison of the production costs and final product steel making costs. Speakers: Sarat Panigrahy, Joe Poveromo, Renard Chaigneau, Peter Jongewaard Joseph J. Poveromo received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering in 1974 at the Center for Process Met- allurgy, State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNYAB). He then joined Bethlehem Steel’s Homer Research Lab- oratories where he advanced to the position of Research Consultant. In 1993 he established his consultancy, Raw Materials & Ironmaking Global Consulting. From 1993 through 2008 his principal client was the Quebec Cartier Mining Company. Currently, he consults for steel, natural resource, technology provider, financial and consultancy companies on a global basis. Dr. Poveromo is a Distinguished Member of the Iron and Steel Society (now AIST) of AIME. He has received a number of Iron & Steel Society Awards including the T. L. Joseph Award in 1998 for his long-standing contributions to ironmaking technology. He is also a Special Member of the IIMA (International Iron Metallics Association). Rénard Chaigneau, Manager Technical Marketing – Atlantic for Rio Tinto Iron Ore. Rénard Chaigneau has over 13 years experience in the iron and steel industry and 9 years with Rio Tinto.

Acknowledgments The authors thank Michigan Sea Grant for funding to enable this integrated assessment. Without the support, insights, historical knowledge and perspectives offered by Sharon Baker, MDEQ site coordinator for many years, this project would not have been possible. We also owe tremendous thanks to the two students, Ankita Mandelia and Emma Schwaiger-Zawisza, whose thesis research contributed major parts of this report. Other people who have contributed to our understanding of the site and its history are too numerous to mention individually, but include state and federal agency personnel, colleagues at MTU and the Keweenaw National Historic Park, TLPAC members, and community members. Administration and staff members at Sea Grant were very helpful in administering the grant, creating and maintaining a web site for the project (http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/torchlake/), and facilitating compilation of the final report. The assessment was greatly improved thanks to the contributions of eight anonymous reviewers representing agency, scientist, and local citizen viewpoints.

  • Copper, Silver, Gold, and Zinc) Ores: Insights from Lake Superior Sediments
    J. Great Lakes Res. 30 (Supplement 1):162–184 Internat. Assoc. Great Lakes Res., 2004 Local, Regional, and Global Implications of Elemental Mercury in Metal (Copper, Silver, Gold, and Zinc) Ores: Insights from Lake Superior Sediments W. Charles Kerfoot1,*, S. L. Harting1, J. Jeong1, John A. Robbins2, and Ronald Rossmann3 1Lake Superior Ecosystem Research Center and Department of Biological Sciences Michigan Technological University Houghton, Michigan 49931 2NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory 2205 Commonwealth Blvd. Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105 3United States Environmental Protection Agency Mid-Continent Ecology Division Large Lakes Research Station 9311 Groh Road Grosse Ile, Michigan 48138 ABSTRACT. Anthropogenic inventories for copper (229 ± 89 ug/cm2, N = 30), and mercury (470 ± 307 ng/cm2, N = 25) in Lake Superior sediments are much greater than inventories in remote lakes (Cu 50 ± 31 ug/cm2, Hg 64 ± 34 ng/cm2, N = 16) that receive inputs largely from long-distance atmospheric sources. Whereas the absolute concentration of mercury in Lake Superior sediments is not high (80–110 ng/g), enrichment ratios along coastal margins indicate industrial sources. An example of previously unre- ported mining-related inputs comes from native copper mining on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Around the peninsula, sediment inventories for mercury, silver, and copper are highly correlated and can be traced back to shoreline tailing piles, smelters, and parent ores. Elemental mercury occurs as a natural amalgam or solid solution substitution in native metal (copper, silver, gold) deposits and associated gangue minerals (e.g., sphalerite, ZnS) at µg/g or higher concentrations. Native copper stamp mills discharged more than 364 million metric tons of “stamp sand” tailings, whereas copper smelters refined five million metric tons of copper, liberating together at least 42 metric tons of mercury.

Because of the significance of the Smelter in the production of hazardous waste material and its continuous operation between the 1880s and 1960s, as well as the volume of historical material available on the smelter site, MDEQ and MTU researchers decided to continue investigation of the C&H smelter into the summer of 2014. This report provides is an addendum to the material already available in the Phase 1 report. C&H Smelting Works contained several buildings, two of which became the focus on continued research: Smelting and Refining Building and the Coal Pulverization Plant. A smaller amount of additional information is also provided on the Electrolytic Plant and the Coal Dock that was not previously available.
