1-25. (canceled)
A method for producing a ferro-alloy in an electric arc furnace, the method comprising the steps of:
- (i) removing steel from a comminuted carbon-containing organic material that comprises steel;
- and
- (ii) charging the furnace with the comminuted carbon-containing organic material that is produced in step (i).
A method of producing a ferro-alloy in an electric arc furnace, comprising using a carbon-containing organic material from which steel has been removed to enhance EAF combustion efficiency.
A method for producing a ferro-alloy in an electric arc furnace, the method comprising the steps of
- charging the furnace with feedstock for the Ferro-alloy;
- heating the feedstock in the furnace to a molten state;
- and
- charging the furnace with a comminuted carbon-containing organic material from which steel has been removed.
A method for determining the recyclability of a rubber in a ferro-alloy production furnace that employs a carbon-containing feedstock, the method comprising the steps of
- deriving a value of a parameter of a rubber that is reflective of the rubber's ability to combust;
- comparing that parameter to one or more parameter values derived from one or more other rubbers, polymers and/or a non-organic carbon source;
- developing a range or scale from those parameter values.
