Abstract

This chapter delves into the distribution and recovery of low-grade waste heat in the steel industry, focusing on the blast furnace-converter process. It identifies key waste heat sources such as coke oven flue gas, sintering flue gas, and blast furnace slag water, each with distinct temperature ranges and characteristics. The chapter explores various recovery technologies, including waste heat boilers, heat exchangers, and heat pumps, highlighting their applications and limitations. It also discusses the challenges of integrating these technologies into existing processes and the potential for reducing carbon emissions. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of advancing low-grade waste heat utilization to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in the steel industry.
