Process for reducing oxidic slags or refuse incinerator ashes on a bath of molten iron alloy

摘要

A process for reducing oxidic slags or combustion residues above a metal bath employs, as the metal bath (15), an alloy of iron with more noble metals, e.g. a FeNi, FeCu or Sn alloy. The redox potential of the bath controlled so that FeO is not or only partially reduced to Fe. Preferably, the redox potential is controlled by Al, FeSi or C addition and the metal bath is bottom blown and heated indirectly, especially inductively.
