Recycling of By‐Product Pellets as Burden in the Blast Furnace Process: A Lab and Pilot Scale Investigation
Cold bonded by‐product briquettes have been recycled in the blast furnace at SSAB Tunnplåt in Luleå since 1993. Recently, much effort has been made to increase the recycling of by‐products. One such project deals with the development of a cold bonded by‐product pellet (CBP) agglomerated from very fi...
