Continuous scrap preheating

摘要

A method and apparatus for reducing the production or emission of noxious gases while continuously preheating a mixture of iron-bearing scrap charge materials for an electric steelmaking furnace operation with off-gas from the furnace, including provision for controlled combustion within the preheating chamber. Removed gases are then treated by thermal incineration of combustible residual matter before release into the atmosphere to insure that no noxious gases are emitted.
