Flowsheet of Biochar Production & Potential Uses in Steelmaking

The process of producing biochar from various sources such as wood, crops, solid waste, and animal waste via pyrolysis in a rotary kiln. The biochar could then be utilized in steelmaking processes for applications such as partially replacing thermal coal, substituting for coke breeze, and serving as a partial reduction of coke in the blast furnace. This suggests the potential for integrating biochar as a sustainable and versatile resource in the steel industry, contributing to reduced environmental impact and enhancing resource efficiency.
