We have developed a new scheme of the electric steelmaking process with thermochemical recuperation, i.e., natural gas conversion with the exhaust gases of an arc furnace for scrap preheating. Thermodynamic calculations show that this scheme provides an increase in the thermal efficiency of the furn...
