Abstract

The authors considered the requirements that should be met by a steel melting unit for the production of cast iron from waste containing harmful impurities. Further, the paper demonstrated the efficiency of using an oxygen converter with a rotating body as a prototype for this purpose. As a result of a comparative analysis of the known smelting systems, a converter with two axes of rotation was used as a prototype for the implementation of the Kalda process, allowing to produce high-quality steel from highly phosphorous cast irons with increased consumption (40–50%) of metal-containing waste. The proposed oxygen mini-converter is advisable to use in combination with a blast furnace with a volume of 110–130 m3 or an oxygen cupola with a capacity of 15 tons per hour under the operating conditions of the foundry of a machine-building plant to produce steel used in the production of castings or forgings. The practical use of the proposed technical solutions will allow steel to be smelted from low-quality cupola iron with partial or full replacement of deficient scrap with metal-containing waste in the conditions of foundries of small engineering and repair plants. At the same time, along with the direct economic benefit obtained, the task of reducing the accumulation in the dumps of industrial metal-containing wastes that adversely affect the environment is being solved.
