Abstract

Shredded old tires can replace coke in the electric arc furnace, if some simple rules are followed to charge and use them. Experimental runs were carried out in two French steelshops for longer and longer periods of time and the substitution rate of carbon by tires was determined. Environmental measurements were also made in order to check emissions in the smokestack and inside the shop.
