Abstract Štore Steel produces steel grades for spring, forging and engineering industry applications. Steelmaking technology consists of scrap melting in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), secondary metallurgy in Ladle Furnace (LF) and continuous casting of billets (CC). Hydrogen content during steelmaking of various steel grades and steelmaking technologies was measured. Samples of steel melt from EAF, LF and CC were collected and investigated. Sampling from Electric Arc Furnace and Ladle Furnace was carried out using vacuum pin tubes. Regular measurements of hydrogen content in steel melt were made using Hydris device. Hydrogen content results measured in tundish by Hydris device were compared with results from pin tube samples. Based on the measurement results it was established that hydrogen content during steelmaking increases. The highest values were determined in tundish during casting. Factors that influence the hydrogen content in liquid steel the most were steelmaking technology and alloying elements.

Ladle furnace slag (LFS) is a by-product of a steel plant. As the chemical composition and free lime (f-CaO) content of each batch of slag are significantly different, it is difficult to use the same operation method to recover LFS. In this study, three types of LFS were used to partially replace lime in the dephosphorization process, and the compositions were adjusted to a fixed range by adding Al2O3. This method reduced the effect of different LFS components and significantly reduced the Ca2SiO4 amount (from 31.4% to 17.1%) in the produced modified oxidizing slag. Furthermore, after dephosphorization, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the three LFSs indicated transformation into gehlenite and wustite. The modified oxidizing slag f-CaO content was 0.41%, which was lower than that in the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag (1.2–1.4%) and the LFS (0.9–3.4%). In addition, the expansion test results of the modified oxidizing slag showed almost no expansion, which conforms to the ASTM D2940 standards; thus, this material can be used for preparing paving materials. This study provides an approach for LFS treatment that could reduce costs within the steel industry.
