Recycling of Mill Scale Into High‐Purity Iron Through Hydrogen‐Based Reduction
steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 8, Page 4162-4175, August 2026.Mill scale, an iron oxide–rich steel by‐product, is difficult to recycle due to impurities. This study evaluates hydrogen‐based direct reduction and hydrogen plasma smelting reduction as low‐carbon recycling routes. Impurity segregation limits reduction kinetics. Direct reduction achieves 92% conversion in 180 min, while plasma reduction reaches 91% in

Double Slag Operating Standard for Mitigation of CO2 Emissions in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking
steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 8, Page 4223-4233, August 2026.Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking uses a double slag process (DSP) to produce low‐phosphorus steel. To reduce carbon emissions in a BOF, the hot metal ratio (HMR) must be lowered. The present article describes the optimal conditions for DSP operations under low‐HMR conditions: temperature of 1360 ± 5 °C, total Fe content of 10 ± 2 wt%, basicity (=

Pressurization of Shallow Magma Reservoir Preceding Basaltic Eruptions at an Open‐Vent Volcano
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Open‐vent volcanoes are characterized by the persistent activity of outgassing, lava effusion and mild explosions, which is, however, occasionally interrupted by more violent explosive activity (paroxysm), for example, Stromboli (Italy). In spite of the different (two orders of magnitude) explosive intensities and different petrological magma ...
