Abstract

The emissions of CO2, SOx, and NOx of various steel alloys in the production stage were calculated by using the unit requirement of each subsystem of the steel-making process, in order to compare the superiority from the viewpoint of the environmental issue among various types of steel alloys. As steel production is a typical integrated system with multiproducts, allocation of emissions to each product, effect of the composition, and sharing the load by the by-product gases are considered. Calculated values of emission were arranged for fifteen kinds of finished steel products and for arbitrary contents of alloying elements.
