This project separated usable substances from BOF-slag for utilisation in different applications. Three different European BOF-slag types were slow cooled and sometimes modified with additions and then subjected to different treatment methods in order to separate mainly phosphorus and iron. Part...
Different alternative raw materials and briquetting conditions were evaluated to reduce costs and emissions, preserve coke quality and safeguard coke oven operation. Hydrous pyrolysis could not transform pine Kraft lignin into coking biocoal. Biomass-containing briquettes caused a decrease in th...
