Abstract
A process and apparatus for improving metal production in ironmaking and steelmaking processes is disclosed. The use of an inert metallic conductor in the slag-containing crucible and the addition of a transition metal oxide to the slag are the disclosed process improvements.
Claims11
A process for improving the rate of metal production and FeO utilization in an iron and steelmaking process which uses Fe-C alloy droplets in an FeO containing slag and in which a charge build-up occurs in the slag at the slag-alloy interface comprising discharging the charge buildup in the slag at the slag-alloy interface.
