Assessment of energy saving technologies in Chinese integrated steel plant

摘要

The iron and steel industry, as the largest energy consuming industry in China, is as well as one of the most important sources of CO2 emissions and other pollutants. To improve the emission reduction and energy saving for Chinese iron and steel industries, an integrated steel plant combined with a series of advanced energy saving technologies was proposed in this study. The economic and emission reduction potential assessment was carried out for each technology. After calculations and analysis, the proposed technologies were then evaluated from the technical, environmental, and economic aspects, respectively and significant results were obtained.
