Review on the Use of Alternative Carbon Sources in EAF Steelmaking

Steelmaking in the electric arc furnace (EAF), either scrap-based or based on hydrogen direct reduced iron, will future contribute substantially to reduction of CO2 emissions iron and steel industry. However, there still be need introduce carbon into EAF process carburize create foaming slag improve energy efficiency melting process. So, reach emission goals set around world, it necessary substitute fossil charge injection used steelmaking with alternative sources. This review presents recent research carbon-neutral biomass-based circular rubber plastics-based sources their potential It also discusses current state-of-the art suggests further opportunities needs for development use produce a really green neutral and/or fully steel.
