Abstract

Although, due to the presence of heavy metals, electric arc furnace dust is classified as hazardous waste, it can be used for various purposes, which is a more acceptable way of disposing it than in a landfill where the metals in the dust remain unused. This paper presents a review of electric arc furnace dust, its physicochemical properties and possible use. With regard to the physicochemical properties of electric arc furnace dust and its high iron content, a very convenient solution is its return to the primary process of steel production. Furthermore, electric arc furnace dust can be used in the non-ferrous metal industry to obtain heavy metals, such as zinc, as well as in some other industries (e.g., cement, ceramics, paint, etc.).
