The study presents a dynamic zonal model for hydrogen plasma smelting reduction (HPSR) in direct current arc furnaces, predicting time‐dependent behavior of metal, slag, and off‐gas. The study considers various industrial scenarios to quantify energy demand, hydrogen utilization, degree of reduction, and other operational sensitivities.

Recycling of Mill Scale Into High‐Purity Iron Through Hydrogen‐Based Reduction
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

Development and Validation of a Next‐Generation Mechanistic Model of the Electric Arc Furnace
This study presents a next‐generation mechanistic model of the electric arc furnace (EAF). It describes equations for all crucial processes appearing during the steel‐recycling process in an EAF, i.e., thermal, mass, and chemical. The model was parameterized and validated using industrial EAF data.

Double Slag Operating Standard for Mitigation of CO2 Emissions in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking
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 (=

Hydrogen‐based direct reduced iron (H‐DRI) melts differently from scrap and carbon‐bearing DRI. This work combines differential scanning calorimetry experiments, FactSage thermodynamics, and simple composition‐based regression to predict solidus, liquidus, heat capacity, and enthalpy for H‐DRI.

Abstract This forum piece begins with a spoken word poem titled A Pedagogy of Wonder, performed by the author, through which the intersections of trauma, language teaching, and creative inquiry are explored. While TESOL scholarship has predominantly focused on refugee‐background or international students as “traumatized populations,” and on trauma ...
