PROCESS AND INSTALLATION FOR THE PRE-HEATING OF IRON SCRAPS BY THE PYROLYSIS OF THEIR RESIDUES, WITH A TOTAL COLLECTION OF THEIR ENERGY CONTENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE ACO PRODUCTION CYCLE

摘要

This method of preheating scrap iron mixed with plastic, rubber and resinous, ie organic, materials and intended for electric furnaces, in particular electric arc furnaces, is characterised by transforming the plastic, rubbery or resinous and like materials of organic nature present in the scrap iron, to advantageously eliminate them by a path able to produce thermal energy usable for preheating the scrap to be melted, said path consisting of pyrolysis in an environment fed both with the the scrap to be melted and with said organic materials, the whole being previously shredded.
