The blast furnace and direct reduction processes have been the major iron production routes for various iron ores (i.e. goethite, hematite, magnetite, maghemite, siderite, etc.) in the past few decades, but the challenges of maintaining the iron and steel-making processes are enormous. The challenges, such as cumbersome production …
the idea of the process of how to make sponge iron from iron ore is basically to add coal to remove oxygen from iron by adding non coking coal and to remove sulfur by adding lime stone, the iron ore and coal are crushed in crushers and screened to the recommended sizes (5mm- mm), then mixed and heated to degrees centigrade s, …
Approximately 7–9% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are attributable to steel production. This may be connected to the widely used practice of using a blast furnace (BF) to reduce iron ore chemically based on feeding mixed burdens of lump ore, sinter and pellets with metallurgical coke acting as a fuel, reductant and …
The employed fuels are natural gas and/or coal. The energy consumption is in the order of 10.4 GJ/t-DRI that is equivalent to 300 m 3 of natural gas per ton of reduced iron. The CO 2 emissions are quantified in the range 0.77–0.92 t of CO 2 per ton of steel. As a function of the employed reducing reactors, the systems are of four main types:
