<p>The invention is directed to a process for dehydrating wet BOF scrubber sludge to produce a steelmaking revert having an improved flow rate when handled in a recycle stream. Wet sludge is combined with hot BOF slag to provide a slag/sludge mixture. The wet sludge causes the mixture to have a moisture content greater than 10 % water by weight, and the hot slag, having a temperature below the molten liquid state, vaporizes the water in the mixture and reduces the moisture content to about 4 % water by weight or less. The dehydrated mixture has improved flow rate properties when it is recycled as a steelmaking revert.</p> |
