The amount of dust generated during the dissolution of scrap in an electric arc furnace is approximately 1.5% of the scrap metal input, and it is primarily collected in a bag filter. Electric arc furnace dust primarily consists of zinc and ion. The processing of zinc starts with its conversion into pellet form by the addition of a carbon-based reducing agent(coke, anthracite) and limestone (C/S control). These pellets then undergo reduction, volatilization, and re-oxidation in rotary kiln or RHF reactor to recover crude zinc oxide (60%w/w). Next, iron is discharged from the electric arc furnace dust as a solid called Fe clinker (secondary by-product of the Fe-base). Several methods are then used to treat the Fe clinker, which vary depending on the country, including landfilling and recycling (e.g., subbase course material, aggregate for concrete, Fe-source for cement manufacturing). However, landfilling has several drawbacks, including environmental pollution due to leaching, high landfill costs, and wastage of iron resources. To improve Fe recovery in the clinker, we pulverized it into optimal -sized particles and employed specific gravity and magnetic force selection methods to isolate this metal. A carbon-based reducing agent and a binding material were added to the separated coarse powder (>10㎛) to prepare briquette clinker. A small amount (1-3%w/w) of the briquette clinker was charged with the scrap in an electric arc furnace to evaluate its feasibility as an additives (carbonaceous material, heat-generating material, and Fe source).

In general, when scrap is dissolved in an electric arc furnace, the amount of electric furnace steel dust (EAFD) generated is about 1.5% of the scrap charge amount, and the electric furnace steel dust collected by the bag filter is charged into the Rotary Kiln or Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF), and the zinc component is recovered as crude zinc oxide, at which time a clinker of Fe-Base is generated. In this research, first, for the efficient resource conversion of electric furnace steel dust, a reduction and roasting experiment was conducted and the reaction kinetics was examined. As a result of the experiment, it was observed that the reduction and roasting reaction was actively conducted in the range of 1100~1150℃, and melting occurred in the range of 1250℃. In the past, this clinker was widely used as a roadbed material for road construction and an Fe-Source for cement production, but in recent years, it has been mainly reclaimed due to strengthening environmental standards. However, landfill treatment is by no means a desirable treatment method due to environmental pollution caused by leachate, expensive landfill costs, and waste of Fe resources. Therefore, in order to more actively recycle the Fe component in the clinker, first of all the clinker was pulverized into an optimal particle size, and anthracite and binder (starch) were added to the magnetic material obtained by specific gravity and magnetic separation for briquet. As a experimental results, it was possible to efficiently separate clinker as Fe component and other slag component by specific gravity and magnetic force. As a results of loading and dissolving the manufactured briquet clinker in an electric arc furnace, it was observed that the unit of power and production yield were clearly improved and the carbon addition effect in molten metal was also somewhat.

For dolomite clinkers used as stamp materials, the corrostion behavior of those by slag was inverstigated between 1550$^{\circ}C$ and 1650$^{\circ}C$. Fe2O3 among slag components was selectively penetrated into the grain boundaries of dolomite clinkers. In hot face, the magnesioferrite was preferentially formed by Fe2O3 component contained in dolomite clinker rather than Fe2O3 of slag. The corrosion steps of dolomite clinkers by slag were found as follows ; (1) The dicalciumferrite was formed by the reaction of the calcia within dolomite clinkers with Fe2O3 of slag. (2) The magnesia within dolomite clinkers reacted with the dicalciumferrite to from magnesioferrite and the residual calcia within dolomite clinkers reacted with the dicalciumferrite to form magnesioferrite and the residual calcia was dissolved into slag. (3) The magnesioferrite was corroded by CaO-SiO2 compounds of slag. With the temperature of slag increased, the magnesioferrite layer in hot face was decreased for dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 while the layer thickness and grain sizes of magnesioferrite was increased for dolomite clinker with Fe2O3.

Coal ash generated from thermal power plants using briquettes contains Si, Al, and Fe components. These components are the main components required for the manufacture of cement clinker. In particular, Al and Fe components form the interstitial phase of cement clinker and have an important effect on the sintering of cement clinker. In this study, a large amount of coal ash was applied as a raw material for cement clinker by content, and the mineral formation process of cement clinker to which coal ash was applied was confirmed by sintering temperature. It was confirmed that the intermediate phase was generated in the sintering temperature range of 1050 ~ 1150 ℃ in the cement clinker to which a large amount of coal ash was applied. As the content of coal ash increased, the production amount of the intermediate phase increased. The phase produced by the addition of coal ash is expected to be converted to calcium silicate phase and interstitial phase and disappear above 1350 ℃. The cement clinker applied with a large amount of coal ash at 1450 ℃ formed well-developed minerals equivalent to the standard cement clinker.

For dolomite clinkers used as stamp materials the corrosion behavior of those by molten steel was investigated in therange of temperatures between 1550$^{\circ}C$ and 1600$^{\circ}C$ IN hot face the dicalciumferrite of magnesioferrite and dicalciumferrite formed within dolomite clinkers was preferentially dissolved into molten steel and the protective layer of magnesioferrite was formed. For dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 magnesioferrite maintained the skeleton of MgO while the skeleton of CaO disappered bythe formation of dicalciumferrite and it existed as grain boundary phases of magnesioferrite. For dolomite clinker with Fe2O3 was diffused into hot face by the decomposition of dicalciumferrite. With increasing temperature of molten steel the formation depth of dicalciumferrite was increased and the magnesioferrite layer in hot face was decreased for dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 while the layer thickness and grain sizes of magnesioferrite in hot face was decreased for dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 while the layer thickness an grain sizes of magnesioferrite in hot face was increased due to the increment of the decomposition reaction of dicalciumferrite for dolomite clinker with Fe2O3.

Coal ash is being considered as a source of silica and alumina for cement clinker. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on cement clinker sintering by confirming the high-temperature microstructural change according to the firing temperature in the cement clinker sintering process of coal ash. In the coal ash used as a raw material for cement clinker, the shape change of the particle surface was confirmed from the sintering tem perature of 950 ℃. The shape of the coal ash disappeared from the sintering temperature higher than 1250 ℃. It was confirmed that the Al and Fe components of the coal ash were converted to the cement interstitial phase at a temperature higher than 1350 ℃. In addition, the clinker using a large amount of coal ash as a raw material showed a low content of Lime and a high content of Belite in the sintering tem perature range of 1150~1200 ℃. From this, it was confirmed that the formation of calcium silicate mineral proceeds more easily at the initial sintering temperature by the application of coal ash.

Since it was developed by Joseph Aspdin, cement has been a common construction materials up to the present time. However, there are trace constituents in cement clinker. One of the trace constituents included in cement clinker, chromium, has become prominent and highly noticed lately as a social issue both inside and outside of this country because it affects the human body negatively. The aim of the present study was to investigate the concentration of water-soluble hexavalent chromium in cement clinker by using industrial by-products. For that reason, raw materials were prepared to add different $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, and $Fe_2O_3$ sources. After the raw materials such as the limestone, the sand and the clay, iron ore was pulverized and mixed, and the raw meal was burnt at about $1450^{\circ}C$ in a furnace with an oxidizing atmosphere. The part in the raw materials of the clinker was substituted with slag, sludge, etc. and this was used to manufacturing cement clinker. To investigate the water-soluble hexavalent chromium content in clinker, raw meal was prepared by changing the modulus, the type, and the content of clinker materials and tested concentrations of hexavalent chromium in the clinkers. To determine $Cr^{+6}$ formation of the clinker, tests were done with raw meals adding chromium by using different industrial by-products. Consequently because the chromium was to be included in the raw materials of the clinker, production of Portland cement clinker was included with the chromium. Also, the chromium was converted into hexavalent chromium in the burning process.

With the increase of ZnO content, burnability of raw materials was improved and the formation of clinker minerals was accellerated. When ZnO was added 1wt%, the clinkering temperature was decreased about 30~5$0^{\circ}C$. As an increase of ZnO added, aluminate phase was decreased and ferrite phase was increased. When ZnO was added more than 3.0wt.%, the new phases, such as ZnO.Al2O3 and ZnO.Fe2O3 were formed. In the excess of amount of ZnO added, the decomposition of alite phase was intensed and the lamella structure in belite could not be observed due to the decomposition.

Analyses for concentration, surface phenomena, and crystal structure were performed to identify the causes of clinker formation in three type of pulverized coal fired boilers. Some clinkers had partially molten surface and more CaO and $Fe_2O_3$ as compared with fly ash, and the major crystalline phases identified in the clinker were mullite and quartz. Clinkers were formed in high temperature zone of the boiler according to the identification of mullite by XRD. Free $SiO_2$ in sand combined with K, Na and Ca in limestone served as a fluxing agent to form clinkers in a circulating bed boiler.
