Basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) dust and blast furnace (BF) dust from former and currently operating steelmaking facilities in the United Kingdom have been characterized by MP-AES, SEM-EDX, particle size analysis, TGA-DSC, combustion analysis, and powder XRD. As part of a circular economy these materials are a potentially valuable raw material source for ironmaking, but their contamination with zinc precludes their recycling via the conventional sinter plant/BF route. X-ray diffraction suggested some of the zinc present in the material is in the form of sub-stoichiometric zinc ferrites, making hydrometallurgical separation less effective. BF dust contains 40 wt.% levels of fixed carbon indicating it could be useful as an alternative reductant in rotary hearth furnace processes such as FASTMET. The rotary hearth furnace appears to be the most suited separation technique available due to its lack of sensitivity to zinc present in zinc ferrite compounds, and reintegration of the recovered iron into the steelmaking process. Benchmarking of material from Port Talbot material processed in laboratory furnace trials under conditions mimicking the RHF showed that while volatile metal removal and iron reduction performance is adequate for recycling at realistic RHF temperatures and hold times, the high sulfur and gangue content mean the produced DRI would not be valuable enough to offset production costs.

In "Focus Forward: Unlocking Your Potential," Robert Ornis delves deep into the intricacies of human attention and its powerful role in shaping our future. Drawing from cutting-edge research, historical anecdotes, and personal experiences, Ornis provides actionable strategies to help readers master their focus and realize their full potential. This book is not just a guide; it's a journey to the epicenter of one's inner capabilities.In an era where distractions are constantly vying for our attention, the quest for genuine focus has never been more pressing. I remember my years at Harvard, where the environment was intellectually stimulating, yet rife with countless diversions. There, I witnessed firsthand how even the brightest minds grappled with maintaining focus amidst a sea of competing interests.Consider the Sirens from Greek mythology; with their enchanting melodies, they lured sailors towards them, often leading to their doom. Today's digital world, with its incessant notifications, can be likened to these Sirens - captivating, yet potentially detrimental if not approached with caution.Research from the University of California, Irvine, reveals that it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to refocus on a task after an interruption. Now, think about how many times a day your phone buzzes, a colleague stops by your desk, or a new email lands in your inbox. The cumulative time wasted is staggering.However, it's not all doom and gloom. The human brain is remarkably adaptable. Dr. Tanya Jonker, a leading neuroscientist, found in her studies that when individuals train their brains using specific cognitive exercises, they can improve their attention spans significantly over time. This means that focus, much like a muscle, can be cultivated and strengthened.But why is focus so essential? When I collaborated with Nobel laureate Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn on telomere research, it became apparent that prolonged stress, often a result of constant distractions, can accelerate cellular aging. Conversely, concentrated and purposeful work, akin to a state of flow described by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, can provide profound satisfaction and even enhance well-being.Historically, some of the world's most groundbreaking discoveries have been a result of deep, undistracted focus. Nicola Tesla, known for his immense contributions to electromagnetism and electrical theory, often spoke of working in a state of hyper-focus, where time seemingly
