reader has some basic knowledge of chemistry, physics and mathematics, so that the chapter can be devoted solely to the discussion of the chemistry of the processes. 2.1 Thermodynamics 2.1.1 Ideal Gas A gas which obeys the simple gas laws is called an ideal gas satisfying the following relation: PV=nRT (2.1.1)
Steel - Electric Arc, Alloy, Refining: About one-quarter of the world's steel is produced by the electric-arc method, which uses high-current electric arcs to melt steel scrap and convert it into liquid steel of a specified chemical composition and temperature. External arc heating permits better thermal control than does the basic oxygen process, …

Scrap can be of various qualities, depending upon the grade to be cast. In addition, other iron units, which are purer than scrap—for example, iron produced from iron ore that contains carbon (a pig iron) or a product called hot briquetted iron (HBI) from direct reduction of iron ore—can be added, if very high-quality steels are to be produced that …

Overview. Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) is a premium form of DRI that has been compacted at a temperature greater than 650° C at time of compaction and has a density greater than 5,000 kilograms per cubic metre (5,000 kg/m 3).. HBI was developed as a product in order to overcome the problems associated with shipping and handling of DRI - due to the …
