The reduction of FeO-containing slag by blends of metallurgical coke and end-of-life tyres (RT) have been investigated through experiments conducted in a laboratory-scale horizontal tube furnace. Composite pellets of EAF slag (47.1% FeO) with coke, RT, and blends of coke/RT (in four different proportions) were rapidly heated at 1550 degrees C under high purity argon gas and the off gas was continuously analyzed for CO and CO2using an online infrared (IR) gas analyzer. The extent of reduction after 10?min, level of carburization and desulfurization, and the total amount of CO2 emissions were determined for each carbonaceous reductant. The results indicate that the extent of reduction, level of carburization and desulfurization of the reduced metal are significantly improved when coke is blended with RT. Blending of coke with RT resulted in a decrease in direct CO2 emissions from the reduction reactions.
