EVALUATION OF OPTIONS FOR METALS RECOVERY FROM ALTASTEEL EAF DUST
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Several process options for the treatment of Altasteel electric arc furnace dust (9.4% Zn, 31.9% Fe) are discussed including hot acid leaching, Na2CO3 roasting, Waelz kiln processing and a modified Waelz kiln process using more oxidizing roasting conditions and acid leaching to recover zinc from the residue. Elemental deportments and their implications on possible process flowsheets are discussed and flowsheets are developed to allow comparisons among the various processes based on metal recoveries, residue stability, reagent consumption, operating temperatures and potential removal of deleterious minor elements.Of the processes discussed, the modified Waelz kiln process appears to be the best option in terms of process simplicity and the volume and stability of the residue produced. The trade-offs for this increase in residue stability are higher acid consumptions during leaching and possibly higher coal costs during roasting compared with the more traditional Waelz kiln processing.On discute de plusieurs options de procédé pour le traitement de la poussière du four électrique à arc d’Altasteel (9.4% Zn, 31.9% Fe), incluant la lixiviation à l’acide chaud, la calcination au Na2CO3, le traitement au séchoir de Waelz et un procédé au séchoir de Waelz modifié utilisant des conditions de calcination plus oxydantes ainsi que la lixiviation à l’acide, pour récupérer le zinc du résidu. On discute des points élémentaires et de leurs implications sur les schémas de procédés potentiels et l’on développe ces schémas afin de comparer les divers procédés en se basant sur la récupération de métal, sur la stabilité du résidu, sur la consommation de réactif, sur les températures de service et sur l’enlèvement potentiel des éléments mineurs nuisibles.Parmi les procédés discutés, le procédé du séchoir deWaelz modifié semble la meilleure option en ce qui a trait à la simplicité du procédé et au volume et à la stabilité du résidu produit. Les compromis de cette augmentation de la stabilité du résidu sont une consommation plus élevée d’acide lors de la lixiviation et possiblement des coûts plus élevés de charbon lors de la calcination par rapport au traitement plus traditionnel au séchoir de Waelz.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
