A self-propelled slag transporter, The self-propelled slag transporter includes a drive, a chassis, a lifting device with at least one lifting drive and a receiving device for receiving a metallurgical transport container, in particular a slag container, wherein the receiving device is designed to be height-adjustable by the lifting device, and wherein the chassis has at least two crawler tracks.

A compound for forming a foamy slag layer for use in an electric arc furnace, is described. The electric arc furnace has a chamber for melting scrap steel and an opening for introducing material into the chamber. The compound has un-calcined dolomite ore having a weight percentage from about 10% to about 60% and carbon having a weight percentage from about 40% to about 90%. The un-caicined dolomite ore and carbon are introduced to the chamber of the electric arc furnace while the scrap steel is being melted to form a foamy slag layer on the surface of the molten steel.
