Antonella Polimeno Camastra (ecoinvent association)11/05/2026, 17:30EMECR 9. Life Cycle AssessmentPoster Presentation
As industries transition towards more sustainable supply chain principles, leveraging reliable LCA databases becomes crucial. Among others, the metals industry also faces increasing demand for transparent environmental data to support sustainability decisions and climate targets. However, the metals industry presents unique challenges to datasets’ creation (e.g., diverse extraction methods,...

Dr Takashi Kuroki (JFE Steel Corporation)11/05/2026, 17:32EMECR 7. Energy savings and energy efficiency optimizationPoster Presentation
A novel water heating system for steel sheet cleaning was developed, which recovers heat from high-temperature wastewater and utilizes a heat pump to heat the supply water. By integrating heat exchangers and heat pump heating, the system significantly reduces energy consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to conventional steam heating. The adoption of indirect heat exchange and multi-pass flow...

Emre Kocakuşaklı (Borçelik Çelik Sanayii Ticaret A.Ş.)11/05/2026, 17:34EMECR 4. Circularity and by-product management in steel industryPoster Presentation
In flat steel production, hot-rolled steel surfaces are subjected to acid pickling to remove surface oxide layers. During pickling, the iron concentration in the acid increases over time, and the spent acid is treated and recycled through an acid regeneration process. As a by-product of this process, iron oxide particles composed primarily of hematite and magnetite with an average particle...

The first part involves technology for injecting hydrogen-rich gas into the blast furnace, and the second part focuses on developing technology for charging scrap/HBI into the blast furnace, which will be developed up to the demonstration stage.
The first part will focus on securing the... -
Matthias Höck (RHI Magnesita)11/05/2026, 17:38EEC 1.E Automation and digitalization in electric steelmakingPoster Presentation
Increasing steel weight per heat is a recurrent theme at many steelmakers to increase the productivity of the plant. This is generally limited by the volume of the various aggregates, EAF, Transfer ladle, AOD and casting ladle. The steel shells are fixed and cannot be modified easily. There is only the potential to reduce the size and shapes of the used refractory material. To avoid a negative...

Dr Jian Zhao (State Key Laboratory of Advanced Metallurgy, University of Science and Technology Beijing)11/05/2026, 17:42EEC 2.C Process control and quality improvement techniquesPoster Presentation
Based on the Ion–Molecule Coexistence Theory (IMCT) and the steel–slag equilibrium theory, this study establishes a thermodynamic equilibrium calculation model for the high-cleanliness production of crankshaft steel. Systematic calculations were performed to determine the rational distribution range of SiO2 in the slag, as well as the recommended CaO/Al2O3 ratio. The variations in inclusion...

In order to improve the distribution of large-sized NbC aggregation in S30432 austenitic heat-resistant steel, this study systematically investigates the mechanism of modified inclusions with different Ce contents. First, the morphology, size, and distribution characteristics of NbC formed under solidification segregation were observed using SEM; further, the three-dimensional morphology of...

Bernhard Mitas (Montanuniversität Leoben)11/05/2026, 17:46EEC 1.A Innovations in electric arc furnace (EAF) technologyPoster Presentation
Describing scrap dissolution has become a topic of renewed interest due to the increasing significance of the electric arc furnace in global raw steel production, as well as the growing complexity introduced by charging mixtures of scrap, DRI, HBI, and hot metal. We present a physically based, computationally efficient dissolution model built on a front-fixing moving-boundary formulation. The...

Mr Nelu Sprater (BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg)11/05/2026, 17:48EEC 4.B Integration of renewable energy sources in electric steelmakingPoster Presentation
Hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore offers the highest potential for decarbonising primary steel production, yet remains economically challenging due to high electricity costs, volatile renewable electricity supply, and limitations of current electrolysis technologies. Existing studies have explored modular and heterogeneous electrolysis layouts, but few operational strategies exist...
