Abstract: A method for recovering zinc oxide comprises the steps of: agglomerating a dust; charging the agglomerate to a molten iron in a melting furnace; collecting a dust generated from the melting furnace; recycling a part of the collected dust and recovering another part of the collected dust. An apparatus for recovering zinc oxide comprises: an agglomeration unit for agglomerating a dust containing iron oxide and zinc oxide; a melting furnace for accepting the agglomerate and for holding the molten iron for reducing the dust; and at least two units of dust collector for collecting the dust containing zinc oxide generated from the melting furnace.

Abstract: A method for analyzing steel which comprises: grinding an analysis area of a steel ingot; sealing the analysis area with a sealing section of a cell for generating fine particles; again grinding the analysis area, while an argon gas is introduced into the cell; irradiating a pulsed laser beam of 10.sup.8 W/cm.sup.2 or more onto the analysis area at an irradiating spot of at least 1 mm.sup.2 to generate the fine particles; moving the irradiating spot; and transferring the generated fine particles by the argon gas to a plasma emission analysis for analysis. A further method for analyzing steel comprises: solidifying a molten steel sample, forming a red-hot sample; putting the sample into a sample holding section of a sample chamber under a purified argon gas atmosphere, the sample holding section having an inner curved surface the same as a curved surface of the sample; irradiating a pulsed laser onto the sample to remove a sample surface layer of 25 .mu.

Abstract: A method for analyzing solid sample comprises the steps of: introducing an inert carrier gas into a cell; a preliminary treatment step of irradiating laser beam to a sample surface of the solid sample in the inert carrier gas, the laser beam having a pulse half width of 0.001 .mu.sec or more, a pulse energy density of 0.001 GW/cm.sup.2 or more, and a frequency of 100 Hz or more; generating fine particles in the inert carrier gas on a condition that a rate of fine particles generation, V (.mu.g/sec), and selection ratio, S, satisfy the following equations, the selection ratio being a retio of a concentration of a target element for analysis within the fine particles to a concentration of the target element for analysis within the solid sample;S.ltoreq.0.25 log V+1.5,S.gtoreq.-0.2 log V+0.6,0.1.ltoreq.V.ltoreq.100intoducing the generated fine particles to a detector.

Abstract: Mini-pellets made of raw materials of fine powder iron ores are indurated, and effected with diffusion bond. A plurality of said treated mini-pellets are combined with calcium ferrites at the surface layers thereof. Thus, agglomerated ores are produced, wherein main grain sizes of said fine powder iron ores are not more than 5 mm, and are subjected to a primary pelletization with flux, and solid fuels are coated in a secondary pelletization to produce the mini-pellets of 3 to 9 mm diameter, and the produced mini-pellets are undertaken with induration in a travelling grate typed sintering furnace.Depending upon the present agglomerated ores and the producing method therefor, the raw materials may be selected from a wide range of grain sizes, and a blow faculty is enough to be small, and producing yield of the agglomerated ores may be increased, having improved qualities of high RI and low RDI.
