Flux used in the making of steel

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF PRODUCING A LOW-COST STEEL-MAKING FLUX FROM A WASTE PRODUCT PRODUCED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ALUMINUM BY MELT ELECTROLYSIS OF A SOLUTION OF ALUMINUM OXIDES IN MOLTEN FLUORIDES, SAID OXIDES AND FLUORIDES BEING INTRODUCED INTO THE MELT FURNACE IN GENRALLY POWDERY STATE WHEREIN A DUST IS FORMED BY SUCH INTRODUCTION AND WHEREBY DUST PARTICLES ARE ENTRAINED IN THE GAS FORMED IN THE REDUCTION OF ALUMINUM OXIDES TO ALUMINUM METAL, SAID DUST BEING COLLECTED AND TREATED WITH WATER TO INHIBIT ITS TENDENCY TO REMAIN AIRBORNE AND SAID WATER TRANSFORMING THE DUST INTO A SLUDGE, THE METHOD COMPRISING ADDING TO AND MIXING WITH THE SLUDGE MATERIALS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF LIME, LIMESTONE, IRON OXIDE, MILL SCALE AND DOLOMITE UNTIL THE WATER IN THE SLUDGE IS ABSORBED TO THE EXTENT THAT THE MIXTURE MAY BE SAFELY CHARGED INTO A STEEL-MAKING FURNACE AS A FLUX TO ASSIST IN THE STEEL-MAKING PROCESS.
