    Abstract:

    Quartzite is a metamorphic, silicate ornamental rock with a high quartz (SiO2) content. Its waste generally comes from the cutting process made with diamond blades. The use of charcoal as a replacement for coke allows for a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions in the steel production process in steel mills. The objective of this work was to analyze the behavior of quartzite as a reducing agent for new forms of charcoal production from crops (bamboo, rice residues, corn, soybeans), thus seeking high productivity, while avoiding the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, complying with the Paris Treaty. Environmental transformations to combat climate change require investments in technology, such as partnerships between academia, industry and government, cooperating.
