| Summary: | A significant amount of CO
2
is emitted and utilized in the production processes engaged by iron and steel enterprises. Herein, the feasibility and principles of CO
2
participation in the steelmaking process are analyzed, and an industrial examination of bottom‐blown CO
2
smelting in a 120 t converter is performed; this serves to summarize and verify the metallurgical advantages of CO
2
participation in the converter steelmaking process. The injection of CO
2
improves the effects of dephosphorization and denitrification, reduces the end‐point oxygen content of molten steel, diminishes the consumption of the slagging agent, and contributes to a reduction in production costs and improvement in product quality. This study analyzes two different recycling paths of CO
2
in iron and steel enterprises, providing a new mechanism for CO
2
emission reduction. |
