Abstract

Recycling of by-products of the steelmaking process in electric arc (EAF) furnaces is an important activity from the perspective of environmental protection as well as the steelmaking industry itself. This article is a discussion concerning the selected research results in terms of utilisation of steelmaking dusts containing 4 - 12 % of zinc in manufacture of cement bricks, ceramic construction materials as well as colored glass products. The research conducted has implied that using steelmaking dusts in non-metallurgical industries is both possible and reasonable.
