Abstract

This invention relates to a refining method for LF (Leaf-Fuel) steel scrap. The refining method includes the following steps: tapping steel from the converter; after molten steel enters the LF furnace, power is supplied, and slag is added; after adding the slag, steel scrap containing precious metals is added according to the molten steel temperature t1. When 1520℃≤t1<1530℃, the rate of adding steel scrap is 270-310 kg / min; when 1530℃≤t1<1540℃, the rate of adding steel scrap is ≤410 kg / min; when 1540℃≤t1<1550℃, the rate of adding steel scrap is ≤510 kg / min; and when t1≥1550℃, the rate of adding steel scrap is ≤610 kg / min. This refining method can effectively recover precious alloying elements from steel scrap, achieving resource reuse. Furthermore, the process is safe, ensuring personal safety and protecting the integrity of production facilities and equipment, and is highly practical.
