Abstract

The Fastmet/Fastmelt processes are technologies developed for the recovery of steel mill wastes and converting them into DRI, HBI or hot metal. The processes utilize an agglomeration system for briquetting or pelletizing of the wastes for feed to a Fastmelt rotary hearth furnace for reduction and, if desired, a direct coupled Fastmelt melting furnace for producing hot metal. Midrex and its parent company, Kobe Steel, have been operating small scale units and estimated the corresponding production costs.
