| Abstract | The current study demonstrates and proposes a new method for sustainable treatment of electric arc furnace (EAF) dust. The raw material is one of the largest and fast growing hazardous waste fractions produced. Globally, annual EAF production of steel generates more than 12 M tonnes of dust today. The dust is rich in Fe but also contains toxic and volatile metals. The main components in the dust include Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cr. However, Zn and Pb in the dust inhibits its recycling back to the steel process. The novel process approach employs alkaline roasting with NaOH at 450 degrees C, followed by organic acid leaching using 0.8 M citric acid at 40 degrees C under oxygen purging, for two hours. Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4), which is the main Zn carrier in the EAF dust is highly refractory making selective Zn vs. Fe leaching impracticable. Roasting was observed to transform EAF dust ZnFe2O4 mineralogy into favourable form of sodium zincate (Na2ZnO2) and sodium ferrate (NaFeO2), the former being an easily leachable Zn compound and the latter keeping Fe in solids. Under the optimized conditions, selective leaching of 100% of Zn vs. Fe ( < 10%) could be conducted, in addition >= 80% of Pb could be leached. Consequently, Fe and Zn rich recyclable secondary fractions were produced from hazardous EAF dust, both fractions being suitable raw materials for primary metal production. |
