Funded Activity Summary

Recycling of Waste Plastics in Electric Furnace Steelmaking: Kinetics of Carbon Dissolution into Steel. Waste plastics form an ever-increasing component of industrial and municipal solid waste and there are serious environmental hazards associated with current methods of plastic waste disposal. This project will produce an in-depth understanding on the critical aspects of recycling waste plastics in steelmaking processes as a carbon and energy resource. Potentially huge quantities of plastic waste can be utilised in the steelmaking industry in a way which will be clean, economic and environmentally friendly. The possibility of recycling infusible and insoluble thermoset plastics will also be investigated.
