Abstract

This work provides an overview of the steel production process, pretreatment and tramp elements of scraps and recycling technology of dust generated from steelmaking process. Steel is the most common metal used by mankind, with the world production of crude steel in 2018 exceeding 1.8 billion tonnes. Recycling of ferrous scraps reduces CO2 emissions by about 42 % and saves about 60 % of energy, compared to production steel from iron ore. Steel scraps are usually recycled to both an electric arc furnace (EAF), scrap-based steelmaking and the basic oxygen furnace (BOF), in ore-based steelmaking. EAF steelmaking, which uses iron scrap as a main raw material, is changing to an energy-saving type with a device for preheating scrap. Dust generated from the steelmaking process is recycled in various ways in the steel mill to recover iron and zinc.

본 논문에서는 철강제조 프로세스, 철스크랩의 전처리와 미량 원소, 그리고 철강공정에서 발생하는 분진의 리사이클링 기술에 대해 고찰하였다. 철강은 인류가 가장 많이 사용하는 범용 금속으로, 2018년 기준 전세계 조강 생산량은 18억 톤을 초과하였다. 철을 리사이클링하면 철광석으로부터 환원하여 철강재를 얻는 것에 비하여 CO2 발생량은 약 42 % 수준이며, 에너지는 약 60 %를 절약할 수 있다. 철스크랩은 스크랩을 주원료 사용하는 전기로제강과 철광석을 주원료로 사용하는 전로 제강공정에서 리사이클링되고 있다. 철스크랩을 주원료로 사용하는 전기로 제강법은 스크랩을 예열하는 장치를 부가한 에너지 절약형으로 바뀌어 가고 있다. 철강 제조공정에서 발생하는 분진은 제철소 내에서 다양한 방법으로 리사이클링하여 철분과 아연 등을 회수하고 있다.
