Long-term global availability of steel scrap

Primary steelmaking involves CO₂-intensive processes, but the expansion of secondary steel production is limited by the global availability of steel scrap. The present work examines global scrap consumption in the past (1870–2012) and future scrap availability (2013–2050) based on the historical trend. The results reveal that (i) historically, the consumption of old scrap has been insufficient compared with the amounts of discarded steel, and (ii) based on historical scrap consumption, the future availability of scrap will not be sufficient to satisfy the two assumed cases of steel demand. Primary steelmaking is expected to remain the dominant process, at least up until 2050. Under the reference-demand case of 2.19 billion tons in crude steel production by 2050, the total production of pig iron and direct reduced iron could reach 1.35 billion tons. Consumption of old scrap could reach 0.76 billion tons. Because the availability of scrap will be limited in the context of the global total, it is important to research and develop innovative low-carbon technologies for primary steelmaking and to explore their economic viability if we are to aim for achieving large reductions in CO₂ emissions from the iron and steel industry.

Electrostatic ignition hazards in insulating or dissipative tubes and hoses for pneumatic transfer of powders—Measurements and model calculations

When transferring powder through pipes or hoses made from insulating material, propagating brush discharges cannot be excluded. To calculate the limit value of the resistivity of the insulating material, below which no propagating brush discharges will occur, the charging current due to the powder transfer must be known. This charging current has been determined experimentally. Based on analytical calculations and computer models limit values for the resistivity of the hose material are derived from these experiments.     

Correlation of pmax and KSt to specific surface area and calorific value of a dust

The safety characteristics p_max and K_St of a flammable dust are usually determined in a closed apparatus (20 l- or 1 m³-vessel). The results are strongly influenced by the parameters of the apparatus (e.g. the volume, geometry, dispersion system). The aim of this project is to investigate whether there is a correlation between p_max and K_St on the one hand and the calorific value H_S and the specific surface area S_m of the dust on the other. In an experimental study, around 200 dust samples from different sectors of industry will be analysed. The analysis of around 102 dusts shows that the correlation may be described by a logarithmic function. Owing to differences in reaction mechanism it is reasonable to formulate different functions for different substance groups (e.g. metals, organic materials). This may lead to an algorithm which can predict p_max and K_St from H_S and S_m within a defined range of error.

Methods for sizing dust explosion vent areas: a comparison when reduced explosion pressures are low

Various methods that are available for estimating the explosion venting requirements of weak dust handling equipment are compared. The regression analysis that Simpson has performed on the well known K_st nomographs is shown to extend to K_st values less than 50 bar m s⁻¹ and to reduced explosion pressures between 1.1 bar a and 1.2 bar a.
