| Abstract Scope |
The recycling of iron and steel scrap has become an important part of ironmaking and steelmaking industry from both technical and economic aspects. In the past decades the recycling of iron and steel scrap has become more efficient and has included clean scrap generated within downstream industries. Metals recovery systems have also developed for some consumer products (e.g. autos bodies) with recovery rates approaching one hundred percent. Iron and steel scrap recycling from products benefit from increased industry adoption of design for recyclability guidelines by manufacturers. Improved instrumentation and sorting systems enable scrap processors to reduce the degradation of properties and increase the throughput of scrap. Secondary smelters contribute by developing blending technologies that minimize the loss of metal to metallurgical by-products like slag. This paper reviews these efforts of the ironmaking and steelmaking industries to increase reuse and recycling of iron and steel scrap. |
