Evaluation of the dust and gas cleaning system during meltin of chrome containing refractories in electric arc furnace

Abstract

The problems of the presence and formation of hexavalent chromium during smelting in electric arc furnaces are discussed. The schemes of gas cleaning systems from chromium-containing gases of electric arc furnaces DS-0,5 and DSP-1,5, The gas cleaning system of furnace DS-0,5 includes a cyclone, two Venturi scrubbers and an electrostatic precipitator. The gas cleaning system of DSP-1,5 furnace consists of a cyclone, regulated and diffuzor scrubbers and two electrostatic precipitators BVKO. It is shown that industrial production of fused chrome-containing refractories can be ensured under safe conditions by using the mentioned dust and gas cleaning systems. Ill. 4. Ref. 4. Tab. 1.
