Claims16
A method for producing a ferro-alloy in an electric arc furnace, the method comprising the steps of:
- (i) removing and separating steel from a comminuted carbon-containing organic material that comprises steel, to produce a carbon-containing organic material that is absent the steel;
- and
- (ii) charging the furnace undergoing steel production with the product produced in step (i), namely, the comminuted carbon-containing organic material absent steel.
A method of producing a ferro-alloy in an electric arc furnace, comprising charging the furnace with 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 and separated therefrom.
