today, the recycling of scrap steel is of great importance, thereby reducing the extraction of crude steel, preserving natural sources and thus protecting the environment. approximately 40% of the steel produced in europe comes from steel scrap recycled through the electric arc furnace process (eaf process). the gases emitted during the process are treated and cleaned, collecting 15 to 20 kg of dust per ton of steel produced. of the annual production in europe of eaf powder thus obtained, which contains zinc, approximately 70% is recycled in the waelz process. the sdhl waelz process, – patented -, is the result of continuous improvement carried out within the organization, through innovation and optimization of the classic waelz process. especially in food preparation, recovery rates and optimization of energy consumption. the recycling processes carried out at befesa steel dust recycling services are considered the best available technologies (“best available -technique” (bat)), a
