Valorisation des poussières de four à arc électrique (EAF) issus de la fabrication de l’acier

Ce projet de recherche vise la valorisation des métaux contenus dans les poussières d’aciérie du procédé EAF de l’usine de Arcelor Mittal à Contrecoeur. Ce produit pourrait éventuellement être exploitée comme un gisement de ressources secondaires afin d’en valoriser le contenu en métaux surtout au niveau du zinc. La stagiaire a jusqu’à présent procédé à […]

Improving Metallic Yield in a Steel Rolling Plant through Optimization

The objective of this project is to use optimization to improve metallic yield (the percentage of raw material that ends up as usable product) in an ArcelorMital Steel Rolling Plant. The metallic yield of the rolling operations depends upon the length of billets from which the final product is manufactured. Ideally, a single customer order […]

Co-Ordination of Steel Production Operations for Increased Throughput

This project aims to improve the throughput of the production system at ArcelorMittal through better coordination between the production operations. The project proposes a sophisticated discrete-event simulation model to analyze the impact of all important parameters of the production system, such as steel temperature, furnace heat duration, ladle movements, and heat loss at ladle. Several […]

Plant level implementation of a model for real time tracking and control of composition changes to steel, slag and inclusions during ladle processing – Part 2

The Ladle Metallurgy Furnace is used for adjustment of chemical composition and temperature, and control of tiny particles called “inclusions”. Controlling inclusions is carried out by adding calcium to modify the solid alumina or magnesium aluminate inclusions to less harmful liquid inclusions. During ladle process, reaction of top slag, steel and inclusions occur simultaneously. Therefore, […]
