Round  1

Reviewer 1 Report

The article entitled "Recycling of the High-Zinc Fraction of Upgraded BF Sludge to the Desulfurization Plant and Basic Oxygen Furnace" is a well-written paper that aims studing the recycling of BF sludge containing high-zinc fraction. They clearly described the objectives. The procedure as well as the results are clearly presented in the document. High quality images are used with illustrative captions. Conclusions are supported in the results. And, they provide a significant number of relatively updated references.

Reviewer 2 Report

“… agglomerates to the BOF in amounts of 23 [9] and 40 kg per ton hot metal (kg/tHM) [10].” should be “… agglomerates to the BOF in amounts of 23 kg [9] and 40 kg [10] per ton hot metal (kg/tHM).”


“…phase from the slag phase [21].” should be “…phase from the slag phase.”
