CA 2256726

The invention concerns a method of treating electric arc furnace (EAF) dust. In the method the dust is preheated and decontaminated under conditions which oxidize the magnetite content of the dust to hematite. Thereafter the preheated and decontaminated dust is introduced into a fluidized bed reactor in which hematite is reduced, by means of a hot reducing gas generated by reforming natural gas in a non-catalytic plasma-arc heating process, to yield an iron-rich material suitable for recycling to the EAF, and a high grade zinc oxide product.

L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement de la poussière de four électrique à arc. Dans ce procédé, la poussière est préchauffée et décontaminée dans des conditions favorisant l'oxydation de la magnétite, contenue dans la poussière, en hématite. La poussière préchauffée et décontaminée est ensuite introduite dans un réacteur à lit fluidisé où l'hématite est réduite au moyen d'un gaz de réduction chaud généré par le gaz naturel de conversion selon un processus non catalytique de chauffage au plasma, afin de produire un matériau riche en fer approprié au recyclage dans le four électrique à arc et de l'oxyde de zinc de haute qualité.
