Research Conducted at Aalto University Has Updated Our Knowledge about Sustainable Metallurgy (Alternative Method for Treating Electric Arc Furnace Dust: Simulation and Life Cycle Assessment)

摘要

2022 JUL 1 (VerticalNews) – By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Mining & Minerals – Investigators publish new report on Sustainability Research - Sustainable Metallurgy. According to news reporting originating from Aalto, Finland, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, “The technical and environmental aspects of treating electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) using a novel process including alkaline roasting and organic acid leaching were evaluated and compared to the globally applied conventional Waelz process. The global warming potentials of the roasting-organic acid leaching process (with co-product credits) and the Waelz processes were 7.48 and 4.71 kg CO2-eq with 33% Zn dust as the feed material.” Financial support for this research came from Aalto University.
