Claim Text:
1. A method of reducing slag generated by scrap melting in an electric furnace, comprising: examining components of slag to be reduced, and setting a target composition ratio after reduction; determining a mixing ratio and an input amount of a complex reducing agent of a plurality of reducing agents based on the set target composition ratio; and supplying the complex reducing agent into molten slag to reduce the slag, wherein the determining a mixing ratio and an input amount includes: determining the mixing ratio of a plurality of complex reducing agents and the mixing ratio of the reducing agents in a particular complex reducing agent; calculating the input amount of the particular complex reducing agent and an input amount of a slag forming agent based on an amount of slag to be reduced; calculating a reaction product obtained by a reaction of the slag with the particular complex reducing agent after supplying the particular complex reducing agent; calculating a composition of the slag changed by the reaction product; comparing the composition of the slag with the target composition ratio to determine the mixing ratio of the particular complex reducing agent when the composition of the slag and the target composition ratio are different; and determining a corresponding complex reducing agent as a final reducing agent when the composition of the slag and the target composition ratio are substantially the same, wherein, in setting the target composition ratio after reduction, the target composition ratio is set to about 39.5 to 40.5 wt % of calcium oxide (CaO), about 39.5 to 40.5 wt % of silicon dioxide (SiO wherein, in the determining of the complex reducing agent, the complex reducing agent includes aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), silicon (Si), carbon (C), and iron (Fe).
