A CASE STUDY FOR MINERAL RECOVERY: PORT TALBOT LOCATION: TATA, PORT TALBOT SUMMARY Within the steel industry the costly disposal of millscale, a waste material created when rolling steel, prompted the requirement for an economically effective solution. The Hydro Iron Master was able to separate high quality iron from the millscale, enabling it to be fed back into the steel production process. BACKGROUND Millscale contains a high percentage of Iron, however due to oil contamination the iron cannot be recovered / re-used therefore rendering it a waste product. Due to the large volumes of millscale generated per day the requirement to safely dispose of the waste formed an increasingly costly problem with landfill being the adopted method of disposal.
