Abstract:
According to a method for utilising solid, optionally with the addition of iron ore, the recyclings are introduced into a melting cyclone (6), together with a reduction agent containing carbon, and oxygen, swirled and ignited. The recyclings are melted, the volatile heavy metals are reduced and evaporated and the iron oxides are reduced. The gases and melt are transferred together from the melting cyclone (6) to a directly connected separating vessel (7) in which the melt and gases are separated. The evaporated heavy metals are separated out of the gases outside of the separating vessel (7) and the melt is transferred into a metallurgical vessel (10) that is separate from the separating vessel (7). According to the invention, reduction agents which are fed into the metallurgical vessel (10) reduce the iron oxides of the melt to iron, whereby a slag that is low in iron is formed, while electrical energy is introduced to at least partially cover the heat loss and the reduction energy, in order to transform 100 % of the recyclings containing iron and heavy metals into useful products.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for treating a hydrocarbonaceous waste material, in particular a rolling scale slurry and/or grinding slurry, the waste material being heated in a dryer, preferably moving, by the indirect supply of heat, and in the process hydrocarbons, if appropriate together with other volatile components, in particular H 2 O, being removed. In this process, in the dryer, at low temperature, the hydrocarbons are broken down in a specific way, the hydrocarbons being broken down by chemical and/or radiation means, which effect decomposition of the hydrocarbons of low volatility into highly volatile hydrocarbons, preferably decomposing high molecular weight hydrocarbons into lower molecular weight hydrocarbons, and the hydrocarbons, if appropriate together with the other volatile components in particular together with the H 2 O, are at least partially discharged, in particular by suction, from the vessel. The invention also relates to a apparatus for treating a hydrocarbonaceous waste material.
Abstract:
For effectively reprocessing iron-containing residual smelting plant materials (1 to 3), in which iron may be present both in metallic form and in oxidic form, with lowest possible energy expenditure, the residual smelting plant materials (1 to 3) are processed into agglomerates (8,11), the agglomerates (8,11) are charged into an electric arc furnace (10), melted there and reduced, and the resultant melt is refined (FIG. 1).
Abstract:
In a process for utilizing slag containing oxidic iron particles, adding a reducing agent and reducing oxidic iron particles of the slag are charging the slag into a reactor vessel onto a residual iron metal containing dissolved carbon, slowly and continuously over an extended period of time, electric heating the slag and the iron melt over an extended period of time, injecting a carbon-containing reducing agent with inert gas over an extended period of time by a lance into a region close to the boundary surface between the slag and the iron melt or directly into the iron melt, dissolving the carbon of the reducing agent in the iron melt and reducing oxidic iron particles of the slag with metallic iron and CO being formed, over an extended period of time, forming a foamed slag by the resulting CO over an extended period of time, introducing an oxygen-containing gas or oxygen into the foamed slag and postcombustion of CO to CO2 over an extended period of time, bottom flushing the reactor vessel with inert gas over an extended period of time, discharging the treated slag and optionally subsequently the discharging iron melt, whereby a residual iron melt containing dissolved carbon is left in the reactor vessel.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for processing iron- or oilcontaining metallurgical waste (1) and for recycling the same in a fusion and/or reduction assembly (6). To this end, the iron- or oil-containing metallurgical waste (1) is mixed with quick lime (3), if necessary after the addition of other fractions containing oil such as used oil. The flowing fraction thus obtained (4) is introduced after an optional intermediate treatment into the fusion and/or reduction assembly (6).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for utilizing slag (2, 2"), which comes fr om the ironworks industry and which contains oxidic iron particles, involving a n addition of a reducing agent (29) and the reduction of oxidic iron particles of the slag (2, 2") and of other possibly existing metal oxides with this reducing agent (29). In order to achieve an efficient reduction of slag with a low expenditure of energy and with small investments, the method is carried out as follows: charging the slag (2, 2") into a reactor vessel (7) onto a remaining iron smelt (25), which contains dissolved carbon, slowly and continuously over a longer period of time; electrically heating the slag (2) , the remaining iron smelt and newly forming iron smelt (17) over a longer period of time; blowing a carbon-containing reducing agent (29) with inert g as over a longer period of time by means of a lance (11) into an area located near the interface (26) between the slag (2) and the iron smelt (25) or directly into the iron smelt (25); dissolving the carbon of the reducing age nt (29) in the iron smelt (25); reducing oxidic iron particles of the slag (2) while forming metallic iron and CO over a longer period of time; formation o f a foamed slag (2') by the resulting CO over a longer period of time; introducing an oxygen-containing gas or oxygen into the foamed slag (2') and reheating CO to form CO2 over a longer period of time; sweeping the bottom o f the reactor vessel (7) with inert gas over a longer period of time; discharging the processed slag (16) and, if necessary; subsequently discharging iron smelt (17) while leaving a remaining iron smelt (25) that contains dissolved carbon in the reactor vessel (7).
