Abstract
In order to solve the problem of scrap shortage, especially high quality scrap, a new substitute for scrap or DRI has been developed. The decarbonization mechanism of granular pig iron has been analyzed, and the technical process and decarbonized granular pig iron have been evaluated. The research results showed that the decarbonized technique is superior to direct reduction process in product quality, construction investment, operation flexibility, production efficiency etc. Decarbonized granular pig iron not only can be used as conventional scrap but also can be charged into EAF as high purity burden equivalent to DRI and heavy scrap.
