steel slags are the by products of steel industries, which forms during reduction process of iron melting. the chemical composition of it changes depending to the melting procedure. its mineralogical composition also varies based on the cooling procedure. two different types of steel slag were used as absorbing bed for various concentrations of pb2+ ions in the form of lead chloride, and the co...

Innovative Technology Summary Reports are designed to provide potential users with the information they need to quickly determine if a technology would apply to a particular environmental management problem. They are also designed for readers who may recommend that a technology be considered by prospective users. Each report describes a technology, system, or process that has been developed and...

A considerable amount of mill scale is generated from steelmaking plants annually. Although some industries use it as raw material however, since it contains iron in the form of FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, it can be considered as a valuable metallurgical raw material for iron and steelmaking industry as well. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility, efficiency, and consequences o...

Introduction Fast, efficient batch melting using the modern induction furnace can improve operating flexibility and production yield, as well as reduce the cost of environmental protection. The compelling advantages of induction batch melting have encouraged foundries to change the way they handle their melting operations. Among the chief advantages is cost. The operational cost of a typical in...

The electric arc furnace is a three-phase load representing one of the most important generator of harmonic currents, reactive power and unbalanced conditions in electrical power systems. This paper aims to achieve a study concerning the power quality of the energy at 3-phase electric arc furnaces. There are analyzed the main qualitative indicators of the electric power: power factor, reactive ...

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...

Due to the rapid growth of non-linear loads, such as power electronic control equipments and Electric arc furnace (EAF) power quality problems such as harmonics and voltage flicker are introduced in the power system. It occurs because of the time-varying and nonlinear behaviour of the Load. Arc furnaces are used in industries for induction heating and welding. Hence an Electric arc furnace mode...

A new mathematical approach to the diffusion of energy-efficient technologies is presented using the diffusion of natural processes as an analogy. This approach is applied to the diffusion of the electric arc furnace in Japan. The main advantage offered by the new approach is the incorporation of an average effect of barriers to, and support measures for, innovation. This approach also incorpor...

Frequent Switching of arc furnace in steel company causes a great effect on the insulation of arc furnace transformer winding which in turn may causes a shutdown of production for long periods of time. Therefore, it is necessary to study and analyze the causes of these outages and design an adequate protective device. In this paper the transient overvoltage resulted from vacuum circuit breaker ...

Abstract. In this paper are study the modeling of a three phase electric arc furnace installation. It is well know that the electric arc is a nonlinear element. Thus, for modeling his behavior, the authors are using a model which parameters like of a real electric arc. For simulation it was use the PSCAD EMTDC program. The simulations results are comparing with the measurements made of a 100t e...
