Material Flow Analysis of CO2 Emissions from Blast Furnace and Basic Oxygen Furnace Steelmaking Systems in China.

In China, iron and steel plants are confronted with increased demands to reduce their CO₂ emissions. Data on CO₂ emissions derived from iron and steel making is a basic requirement for a certificate of CO₂ reduction. In the current paper, carbon flows from blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steelmaking systems are analyzed using Material Flow Analysis (MFA). The computation method is built and used to calculate CO₂ emissions in three steel works. The amount of carbon flow and CO₂ emission per ton of product ( [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
