Abstract

Stainless-steel pickling sludge (SSPS) and blast-furnace bag dust (BFBD) contain heavy metals such as Ni and Cr, which are harmful to the environment. A new approach of “using waste to treat waste” is proposed, and the process of using a direct reduction method to synergistically desulfurize and extract Zn from SSPS and BFBD to prepare metalized pellets is investigated. The results show that in the reduction roasting, the Fe, Ni, and Cr oxides can be reduced to metals and exist in the form of alloy phases; the metallization rate was 87.9 pct. ZnFe2O4 can also be reduced to Zn(g) at about 1000 °C and recycled in the flue gas, and the Zn extraction rate was 99.81 pct. Moreover, S was removed in the form of SO2 flue gas, and the desulfurization rate was 45.46 pct; the remaining S was present in the form of CaS, which could be removed in the subsequent blast-furnace smelting process, reducing the SO2 flue-gas pressure during the reduction roasting process. CaF2 was relatively stable and mainly exists in the slag phase. The metalized pellets satisfy the requirements for a blast-furnace charge entering the furnace and can realize efficient resource utilization of SSPS and BFBD.
