Optimizing Fe Yield and DRI Integration in EAF Operations with Advanced OES Technology
On October 24th, the Hebei Institute of Metals held an international conference focused on advancing iron and steel testing technologies, gathering industry professionals, researchers, and academic leaders from around the world. The event highlighted the steel industry's evolution toward precise, real-time analysis methods, emphasizing the role of in-situ data in improving process control and efficiency.
Our QuantoLux partner presented a breakthrough approach in slag analysis, showcasing how in-situ Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) moves beyond traditional visual and XRF evaluations. Unlike these methods, which can be slower and less accurate, OES provides immediate, detailed data on slag composition, measuring elements like magnesium, aluminum, and silicon almost in real-time. This technology empowers operators to make quick adjustments on the production floor, improving product consistency, reducing energy use, and lowering costs.
OES also supports sustainable production by facilitating the efficient use of recycled materials, helping steelmakers reduce their carbon footprint and energy consumption. As industry standards shift towards data-based decision-making, QuantoLux’s technology provides reliable, actionable insights that align with the industry's drive for efficiency and environmental responsibility.
In presenting this advanced OES approach, QuantoLux is setting a new standard in slag analysis for steel production, making processes faster, more precise, and significantly more sustainable.
