A new reuse process of the coarse fraction of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) sludge based on iron recovery by the ferrous sulfate production was proposed and …

During steel production, the impurities in the hot metal react with the fluxes forming the steel slag. Chemical constituents of this steel slag (SS) are relevant to iron/steelmaking or blended cement manufacture. Harmful impurities present in it, however, limit its recycling to these applications. Japan, Europe, and the US consume a significant …

1.1. General Introduction. Landfill and incineration are two of the least environmentally-friendly methods of processing food waste owing to excess production of potent greenhouse gases, e.g., carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) [1,2,3,4].It also represents a missed opportunity to either compost the food waste and thus create a …

15 February 2023. H&M, the world's second biggest fashion retailer, said on Wednesday it had formed a joint venture with German recycling group Remondis to collect, sort and sell used and unwanted garments and textiles. The fast-fashion industry to which H&M belongs is looking for ways to curb its carbon footprint in response to growing ...

Recycling. NYCHA is committed to making buildings and grounds visibly clean and pest-free by 2025. To achieve this goal, NYCHA must raise its recycling rate, since recyclables make up more than 1/3 of NYCHA's waste stream. Providing educational materials to residents is a critical piece of improving our recycling rate.

Instead, they can end up downcycled, destroyed or dumped, according to a new report from Changing Markets Foundation. A woman works at a clothes recycling centre in France. Big brands are increasingly offering customers the option to return old clothes for reuse and recycling, but where these garments end up is hard to discover. (Getty …

In the 10 years it has been operating, the programme has collected 155,000 tonnes of textiles for resale and recycling, but some sources suggest their production volumes are as high as 3 billion garments annually. In its report, Changing Markets reported finding garments from fast-fashion brands, including H&M, in landfills, or burned in Kenya.

Abstract and Figures. This review covers the options for recycling of plastic waste and provides a general overview of the main issues associated with plastic disposal. It provides a summary of ...

Article Conservation of iron and lime bearing raw materials by recycling of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) sludge in iron ore sintering. Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) sludge is one of the by–products generated during process of steel making. It has very hig...

Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel slag is a main byproduct that is produced during the converter steelmaking process. The volume instability and fast crystallization of BOF slag limits its added-value application. This article aims to understand the effect of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} on the mineralogical modification and crystallization kinetics of a ...

based on basic oxygen furnace (BOF) technology to electric arc furnace (EAF) technology that relies more heavily on scrap. In time, this shift will have a significant impact on scrap consumption trends both in China and globally. Today, scrap recycling in China is a highly fragmented industry that lacks vertical integration

Efficient recycling of iron oxide from industrial BOF (basic oxygen furnace) slags has always been an issue in metallurgy.In this study, a new method was developed for the efficient recycling of iron oxide: It was transformed into magnesioferrite spinel (MgFe 2 O 4) by mixing the industrial BOF slag with 6.00% SiO 2 first, and then the modified slag …

In November 2019, Patagonia produced around 10,000 jackets, sweaters and bags upcycled from old garments for its ReCrafted line. While the price point for the products will vary, the brand is expecting to sell the …

The Recycling Economic Information (REI) Report found that, in a single year, recycling and reuse activities in the United States accounted for 757,000 jobs, $36.6 billion in wages and $6.7 billion in tax revenues. This equates to 1.57 jobs, $76,000 in wages and $14,101 in tax revenues for every 1,000 tons of material recycled.

BoF PROFESSIONAL. LONDON, United Kingdom — For nearly 20 years Adidas AG has pursued an environmental and technological holy grail: a sneaker that can be recycled and reused in new shoes without any waste. It's a feat of design and engineering that has proved elusive. A typical sneaker is made up of multiple different …

In 2020, global crude steel production was 1.88 billion tonnes – nearly three-quarters of that came from the energy- and carbon-intensive integrated blast furnace and …

With ambitions to recycle the equivalent of more than 1.4 billion T-shirts every year by 2030, the new plant marks the beginning of a significant shift in the fashion industry's ability to recycle ...

Goal: To develop technologies that will result in the beneficial use of BOF slag. The scope of this four-year project is three-fold. First, MTU researchers seek to increase the efficiency of iron unit recovery from BOF/BOP slag. Second, the project calls for the development of value-added feedstocks for steel mill furnaces that will generate energy

Brian Taylor | June 22, 2022. San Francisco-based environmental research firm Global Energy Monitor (GEM) says a global switch from blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace …

In North America, steelmakers of all types have reduced output based on shifts in demand, but the cost competitiveness of EAF steelmaking versus integrated …

Recycling one ton of office paper can save the energy equivalent of consuming 322 gallons of gasoline.
