The method of smelting metals from charge with low metal content in a furnace with bottom electrodes and the first laboratory studies

Abstract

Liquid phase smelting reduction process for utilization of ferrous waste in the electric furnace with stationary bottom electrodes by carbon-thermal reduction is proposed and tested in laboratory conditions. The principal possibility of melting and reduction of iron heat generated in the slag bath between the bottom electrodes is shown. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018.
