Systematic study on recycling of waste materials in an integrated steel site

• Recycling of materials is of major interest in steelmaking for environmental reasons as well as economical ones. This work evaluates new methods for recycling of waste materials in an integrated steel site. The study estimates how much material can be recycled and which order that would be the most beneficial with respect to costs, energy and deposits. The work shows conflicting results, where a decrease in deposits will increase the energy use in the system. However, according to the analysis, implementation of additional cases should improve the material efficiency, and cases are planned to be tested in the near future.
