(8B-8) New Generation in Pre-heating Technology for Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking

摘要

Increasing energy cost - electric energy as well as fossil energy - and increasing raw material cost are demanding actions from steel makers to reduce their conversion cost to gain a competitive edge. Using the chemical and latent energy of the off gas has been proven to reduce the total energy requirements in electric arc furnace operations. On the other hand, the threat of green house gases to climate change has captured not only the world’s attention but also that of engineering companies who provide EAF designs, as well as that of steel companies who use the Electric Arc Furnace to produce liquid steel.
