Two melters then convert this into molten iron. The iron, at around 1480°C, is transferred to the Vanadium Recovery Unit (VRU), where vanadiumrich slag is recovered for export and further processing into a steel strengthening additive. The Ironmaking Plant at Glenbrook has the capacity to produce 650,000 tonnes of molten iron.
Each year to million tonnes of ironsand is needed to produce steel at Glenbrook. To obtain this, 4 to 7 million tonnes of sand needs to be mined at the Waikato North Head site. Once the sand is mined, the titanomagnetite is separated from the sand by magnetic and gravity separation processes. No chemicals or other additives are used.
Steel slag is a byproduct of the steelmaking and steel refining processes. This paper provides an overview of the different types of steel slag that are generated from basicoxygenfurnace (BOF) steelmaking, electricarcfurnace (EAF) steelmaking, and ladlefurnace steel refining processes. The mineralogical and morphological properties of BOF and electricarcfurnaceladle [EAF(L)] slag ...
