  1. ArcelorMittal Recycling of Advanced High Strength Steel Concept Proposal Corey Tokar, Austin Sigler, Robert Patrick, Rashid Obaid

  2. Our Proposed Initial Concept Ideas • Pre-Separation of Automotive Parts at Scrapyard • Pig Iron and Slag Recycling Method • Using the Mass Spectrometry Technique • Using Melting Points to Separate Alloy Metals

  3. 1.) Pre-Separate Automotive Parts • Pre-separate the materials at scrapyard • Eliminates amount of unneeded scrap • Makes for a faster high alloy steel separation process • Saves time and money by not using advanced techniques • Manual labor would be used to separate car parts • Less harm would be caused to steel quality

  4. 2.) Pig Iron/Steel Recycling • Pig iron would be worked intosteel. • Pig iron is melted and a strong current of air is directed over it while it is being stirred or agitated • Causes the dissolved impurities (such as silicon) to be thoroughly oxidized. • More slag formers are introduced and more oxygen is blown into the bath • This burns out impurities such as silicon, sulfur, phosphorus,aluminium, manganese, and calcium, and removing their oxides to the slag. • Using anElectric Arc furnace, Pig Iron is blasted with slag in order to create a higher quality steel.

  5. 3.) Mass Spectrometry Technique • Follows basic principles of electromagnetism • The magnetic field curves the ions based upon their unique charge to mass ratio • Different elements/ compounds will end up at different locations

  6. 4.) Separation By Melting Points • Alloys put together in air-tight mixer • Mixer heats to different temperatures based on melting points • Melted metals separate from alloy and are transported using gravity
