Abstract
Electric arc furnace dust (EAF dust), which is formed as a by-product of the steel production process from secondary raw materials, contains significant amounts of Zn, Fe, Pb, Cd, Ca, K, Cr, Mn, Si, Mg, Na, Ni, Cu, F, Cl, etc. Due to the content of heavy metals in the EAF dust, which in its inadequate disposal and the impact of atmospheric conditions can lead to a negative impact on the environment, it is characterized in the world as hazardous industrial solid waste. For environmental protection, it is necessary to do a treatment of the EAF dust so that it can be safely disposed of in a landfill without negative effects on the environment and human health. In addition to environmental benefits, the EAF dust treatments can also have economic benefits.
