Abstract

Iron and steel production involves the generation of numerous different by-products. An essential group of by-products are iron and steel slags which can be recycled to obtain secondary resources. In order to decide how slags are to be recycled, a large number of technical, economic and ecological variables has to be considered. An approach to recycling planning taking all relevant variables into account is not known. This contribution introduces a recycling planning approach for slags based on a techno-economic analysis and evaluation of recycling measures.
