Abstract

Blast Furnace (BF) process is dominant in the iromaking industry in the World. Growing demand for steelmaking raw materials results in fast consumption of fossil fuels, which are required for the BF operation and also serve as reducing agents. To lower the carbon footprint and achieve sustainable development, as well as circular economy, there is an increased need for using alternative reducing agents for BFs, such as waste plastics, bio-based materials etc. Those materials can be recycled or upcycled by utilization in BF process. Catalytic recycling/upcycling of exhaust gases was proposed, as it could be highly profitable, and, as well lower the carbon footprint of the BF process.
