- Abstract
The Brazilian ferroalloy industry supplies 94% of the domestic demand for ferrochrome. However, the intense competition existing forces the industry to seek improvement of operational efficiency in the production of FeCrAC. The major barrier to the deployment of innovations is the lack of information on the best technologies and the cost benefit related to them for the companies. In the first step of this study, four technological routes to produce FeCrAC on an industrial scale have been identified. These routes were submitted to two filters to define the most suitable route. This study aims to evaluate these routes according to technical and economic criteria. In the first filter, technical evaluation, two routes were pre-selected. In the second filter, economic and financial valuation, the closed electric furnace operation route showed the best results in all economic indicators.
