Blast furnace taphole clays, once mistakenly considered mere consumable materials, are now recognized as an integral component of the production process. The shift from old-fashioned, carcinogenic tar-bonded products to modern, more environmentally and healthier resin-bonded ones represents the new frontier of development. Improving optimal performance while cutting down harmful substances such as benzo-α-pyren/C20H12 and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons represents the actual technical challenge. Analytical techniques will show how the choice of the proper liquid binder is the key to reducing harmful emissions, keeping untouched the required technical performance.
