Abstract
Most Waste slurry is produced in the process of silicon manufacturing for semiconductor industry, containing silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC). Waste slurry is simply stored with solidifying by cement or buried. On the other hand, it was suggested in this study that the waste slurry should be used for heating source as supplementary material in steel making process. The waste slurry was refined and pulverized, which was recycled into SiC-based sludge briquette. Chemical composition for SiC-based sludge briquette was analyzed and the feature of heating source was observed in accordance with the injection time and input amount. As a result, SiC-based sludge briquette in terms of low cost and high efficiency had an effect on increasing liquid steel temperature in steel making plants.
반도체 산업의 실리콘(Si) 제조과정에서 실리콘과 실리콘 카바이드(SiC)를 포함하는 폐 슬러리가 발생하게 된다. 폐 슬러리는 단순히 시멘트로 고형화하여 보관하거나 매립하는 방법이 있지만, 본 연구에서는 제강공정의 부원료인 승온제로 사용하는 방안이 제시되었다. 폐 슬러리를 정제하여 분말을 만들어 SiC계 슬러지 브리켓으로 재활용하였다. SiC계 슬러지 브리켓은 화학적 성분을 분석하고 투입시기와 투입량에 따른 승온제 특성을 관찰하였다. 이 결과 SiC계 슬러지 브리켓은 제강공장에서 저비용과 고효율로 용강온도를 높이는 효과가 있었다.
