O processo envolve tr\u00eas etapas principais:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Refus\u00e3o do eletrodo: O eletrodo consum\u00edvel (o a\u00e7o a ser refinado) \u00e9 imerso em uma po\u00e7a de esc\u00f3ria superaquecida dentro de um molde de cobre resfriado a \u00e1gua.

A esc\u00f3ria utilizada no ESR possui reatividade qu\u00edmica extremamente alta, absorvendo eficazmente as inclus\u00f5es de \u00f3xido e completando as rea\u00e7\u00f5es de dessulfuriza\u00e7\u00e3o.
