Description

SSAB Alabama, Inc. conducted a trial project funded by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) to test the use of crumb rubber from recycled scrap tires as a partial substitute for petroleum coke in the electric arc furnace steelmaking process. The trial aimed to assess the impact on steel quality, furnace efficiency, and emissions. The project involved injecting crumb rubber in various concentrations (5% to 30%) replacing pet coke in 51 trial heats, with monitoring of slag conditions, steel quality, and off-gas emissions.
