우리나라에서 2000년도에 발생된 전기로 및 전로슬래그를 합하면 약 600만 톤 정도로서 주로 도로포장재료 및 매립재 등과 같은 한정된 용도로만 활용되어 왔다. 그 이유는 제강과정 중 유리석회가 슬래그화 되지 않고 불안정한 상태로 슬래그 내부에 잔존하기 때문에 콘크리트 구조물 내에서 팽창을 일으킬 가능성이 클 뿐만 아니라, 팽창이 심할 경우 구조물의 균열 내지는 붕괴까지도 야기 시킬 수 있으므로 콘크리트용 골재로 사용해서는 안 된다고 규정하고 있다. 따라서 제강슬래그를 콘크리트용 골재로 사용하기 위해서는 제강슬래그 자체의 팽창성 억제 내지는 안정화 처리가 우선 해결되어야 할 과제로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 제강슬래그 골재의 팽창성을 저감시키기 위한 목적으로 6종류의 에이징 방법을 선정하여 안정화의 효율에 대하여 비교 검토하였다. 전로슬래그 골재의 경우, 본 연구에서 실시한 에이징 처리 방법으로서는 콘크리트용 골재로서 요구되는 팽창률을 저감시키는데 한계가 있었을 뿐만 아니라, 에이징 처리한 전로슬래그 골재 사용 콘크리트의 강도도 재령과 더불어 감소하는 문제점이 있음을 확인하였다. 그러나 전기로슬래그 골재를 온수중 및 증기중 에이징 처리할 경우, 팽창률이 전로슬래그 골재의 약 2/3 정도에 지나지 않는 효율을 나타내었으며, 이를 사용한 콘크리트의 강도도 전로슬래그 골재 사용 콘크리트와는 달리 보통콘크리트의 강도에 상응하는 비교적 좋은 결과를 나타내므로 콘크리트용 골재로서 사용 가능성을 시사하였다.

본 연구는 전로슬래그를 콘크리트용 골재로 사용할 수 있는 가를 검토하기 위해서 수쇄슬래그에 전로슬래그를 중량비로 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%씩 혼합한 골재로 공시체를 제작하여 강도특성을 고찰하였다. 전로슬래그로 제작한 콘크리트의 슬럼프 값은 천연골재로 제작된 슬럼프 값보다 더 크게 나타났다. 또 수쇄슬래그에 전로슬래그를 혼입하여 제작된 콘크리트는 전로슬래그의 혼입율이 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%로 높아짐에 따라 팽창율도 0.007%, 0.014%, 0.043%, 0.19%로 각각 증가되었다. 따라서 비교적 안정성을 갖는 콘크리트를 제작하기 위해서는 수쇄슬래그와 전로슬래그의 혼입율을 60:40으로 하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다. 또, 수쇄슬래그에 전로슬래그를 혼입하여 만든 콘크리트의 압축강도 (${\sigma}_c$), 인장강도(${\sigma}_t$), 휨강도(${\sigma}_f$)간의 상관관계를 회귀분석하여 도출한 인장강도와 휨강도의 예측공식은 다음과 같다. ${\sigma}_t$ = 0.16952${\sigma}_c$ - 4.9313 ${\sigma}_f$ = 0.25727${\sigma}_c$ + 6.0528

In this study, several series of experiments were conducted to investigate the phosphorus (P) removal process in slag-containing solution using furnace and converter slags. High amount of $OH^-$, $Ca^{2+}$ and alkalinity were discharged from the slags and hydroxyapatites [$Ca_5(PO_4)_3(OH)$] were kept accumulated on the surface of slag. P removal capacity of the slag decreased with the increase of slag dosage. The maximum capacity was found to be 11.25 mg/g at the converter slag. Converter slag adsorbed P more than furnace slag(about four times in average). An experimental study on the effect of pH shows that the percentage removal of P increased upto 30% at the pH range of 56 than that of above pH 8. Langmuir isotherm constants gave a better correlation than Freundlich ones. P removal amount in the presence of $NH^+_4$ was less compared to the one in the absence of $NH^+_4$. Maximum percentage reduction was 23%.

In this paper, the fundamental features of the arc stability DC arc furnace have been investigated, from the converter point of view. To compare of measurement arc data from DC arc furnace and the advanced arc simulations of magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) and the well known Cassie-Mayr arc model have been extensively used. The MHD based arc simulation has been validated in the subcomponent level, for the free burning arc set up in the laboratory. The arc simulation predicted the arc voltage for different currents with the accuracy which satisfies engineering requirements. It has been shown that the arc current steepness at current zero determines the arc stability, and the associated peak arc resistance can be used as its quantitative measure. Based on the presented insight into the DC arc stability, a converter topology solution which realizes an optimal arc stability has been proposed. The main results presented in this paper provide a design guideline for the future DC arc furnace converter topology developments.

Occupational fatal injury rate per 10,000 population of Korea is still higher among the OECD member countries. To prevent fatal injuries, the causes of accidents including human error should be analyzed and then appropriate countermeasures should be established. There was an severe converter furnace accident resulting in five people death by chocking in 2013. Although the accident type of the furnace accident was suffocation, many safety problems were included before reaching the death of suffocation. If the safety problems are reviewed throughly, the alternative measures based on the review would be very useful in preventing similar accidents. In this study, we investigated the converter furnace accident by using human error analysis and accident scenario analysis. As a result, it was found that the accident was caused by some human errors, inappropriate task sequence and lack of control in coordinating work by several subordinating companies. From the review of this case, the followings are suggested: First, systematic human error analysis should be included in the investigation of fatal injury accidents. Second, multi man-machine accident scenario analyis is useful in most of coordinating work. Third, the more provision of information on system state will lessen human errors. Fourth, the coordinating control in safety should be performed in the work conducting by several different companies.

Steel slag produced in steel making process is divided with electric arc furnace slag and converter slag. Compared with the blast furnace slag, converter slag has the expansibility due to the reaction with water and free CaO. Therefore it is specified in Standard Specification for Concrete in Korea that steel slag aggregate must not be used in concrete. In this study, we treat electric arc furnace slag aggregate(EAFSA) for concrete before and after several aging process to reduce expansibility. The fundamental properties are measured, which are specific gravity, unit weight, abrasion value and immersion expansion ratio, as concrete aggregate. To understand the suitability of EAFSA for concrete, we made the concrete with EAFSA and then determined the strength and the volume change in EAFSA concrete. From the results EAFSA treated with steam aging process has potentiality for concrete aggregate.

Converter has been slag produced 10 million tons per year in Japan. It is a steel making by product produced in the same way as the blast-furnace slag. Though blast-furnace slag is being used effectively as a concrete admixture, the converter stag has never been used effectively because of the expansion action of contained free lime and iron oxide. This is an important environmental problem in the steel industry. Beta-2CaOSiO$_2$(beta-C$_2$S) is contained 40 percent in converter slag, therefore it is very promising as a concrete admixture. We proposed an accelerated aging processes capable of stabilizing the converter slag in a short time. The converter slag is dipped into alkali aqueous solution after heating at low temperature. It was subsequently ground to a grain size of 75 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ , inner 30 percent of OPC. The properties of mortar and concrete using the blended cement were determined. As a result, it has become apparent that the expansion was reduced and long term compressive strength was increased while that at early ages was not so remarkable. The hydration exotherm rate was lower than that of the OPC.

동제련 공정중 고품질의 전기동을 효율적으로 생산하기 위해서는 Anode중에 적정량의 비소(As)가 필요하다. 그러나 Cu가 약30% 함유되어 있는 동정광에 함유된 비소는 Smelting Furnace 용련과정에서 비소 특성상 약 70%가 Offgas로 휘발되어 황산공장으로 유입 처리되고, 나머지 30%만 아노드(Anode)로 유입되므로 별도로 전련공정에서 발생된 Cu-Cement(비소 함유)를 정제로에 Recycle 하고 있으며, 부족시 추가로 비소 Source를 구입하여 정제로에 투입하고 있다. 이를 효과적으로 해결하기 위하여 현재 위탁처리를 하고있는 As가 함유된 폐수처리 2차 중화시 발생된 2차 Cake 60W.T/D중 30W.T/D를 기존 Converter Slag 건조용 Rotary Dryer를 이용하여 Converter Furnace에 Recycle 함으로써 전련 Anode에 필요한 비소를 공급하고, 또한 2차 Cake에 혼입되어 있는 CaO 활용으로 부재료 절감, 유가금속(Cu등) 회수등 및 2차 Cake 위탁처리비용을 절감하며, Cu-Cement는 Smelting Furnace에 투입하여 정제로 투입시 발생되는 문제점들을 동시에 해결코자 한다.

Each year, about four million tons of steel slag, a by-product produced during the manufacture of steel by refining pig iron in the converter furnace, is generated. It is difficult to recycle this steel slag as aggregate for concrete because the reaction with water and free-CaO in steel slag results in a volume expansion that leads to cracking. However, the steel slag used in this study is atomized using an air-jet method, which rapidly changes the melting substance at high temperature into a solid at a room temperature and prevents free-CaO from being generated in steel slag. This rapidly-cooled steel slag has a spherical shape and is even heavier than natural aggregate, making it suitable for the aggregate of radiation shielding concrete. This study deals with the radiation shielding property of concrete that uses the rapidly-cooled steel slag from the oxidizing process in the converter furnace as fine aggregate. It was shown that the radiation shielding performance of concrete mixed with rapidly-cooled steel slag is even more superior than that of ordinary concrete.

The properties of dust collected from electric arc furnace of ferro manganese production units was investigated, and also the metallic manganese was recovered from the dust by aluminothermy process. The ferromanganese dust collected from electric arc furnace contained about 15% of manganese oxide ($Mn_3O_4$) and 9% of carbon as the contaminant, and have a 5um of 50% median diameter and irregular particle shape. The carbon contaminant in the dust could be reduced until about 0.1~0.5% level by roasting in the air at a temperature of 600~900C for 60minutes. The recovery of manganese could not be carried out using only ferromanganese dust from electric arc furnace by aluminothermy process, but the ferromanganese which contained manganese of about 92% and iron of about 5% could be obtained from the mixture of ferromanganese dusts from electric arc furnace and converter. The best mixing condition of dust fixed at electric arc furnace dust / converter dust ratio of 1:9 and 2:8, and the mixing rato of 3:7 or more could not separated the metal and slag from the reactant after aluminothermy reaction.
