A new route for making steel from iron ore based on the use of hydrogen to reduce iron oxides is presented, detailed and analyzed. The main advantage of this steelmaking route is the dramatic reduction (90% off) in CO2 emissions compared to those of the current standard blastfurnace route. The first process of the route is the production of hydrogen by water electrolysis using CO2lean ...
· Iron ore pellets. The iron ore pellets may be acid or basic pellets. Acid pellets are also called as DRI (direct reduced iron) grade pellets while basic pellets are also known as BF grade or fluxed pellets. DRI grade pellets – Basicity of these pellets is usually less than The fired pellet strength is, to a certain degree, due to the hematite bridges of polycrystalline structure. These ...
Direct reduced iron (DRI), produced by the reaction between iron ore and reducing gasses, is used as a source of lowresidual iron, in addition to ferrous scrap and pig iron, in the production of steel mainly through the electric arc furnace (EAF) route of steelmaking. The main DRI technologies in use are those of Midrex and Hyl, but in recent years a myriad of newer processes emerged based on ...
Ore deposits contain various types of iron ore. The ore types are characterised by their iron oxide content, usually as either magnetite or haematite. Magnetite, Fe3O4, is magnetic, whereas haematite, Fe2O3, is not. LKAB's ore consists primarily of magnetite. The advantage of this is that magnetite does not require as great an external energy supply during concentration and pellet production ...

The size distribution of iron ore pellets is among the most important quality parameters for the end users of those pellets, the steel mills. The tighter the distribution is, the better the performance and energy efficient the steel making process will be. It all relates to pellet bed permeability or how easily the gases travel in between the pellets in the process. We know what pelletizing is ...
Iron ore is used mostly in pellet and/or lumpy form. The chemical reactions involved in the direct reduction of iron are the following: With H2. 3Fe 2 O 3 + H 2 → 2Fe 3 O 4 + H 2 O Fe 3 O 4 + H 2 → 3 FeO + H 2 O FeO + H 2 → Fe + H 2 O With CO. 3Fe 2 O 3 + CO →2Fe 3 O 4 + CO Fe 3 O 4 + CO → 3 FeO + CO 2 FeO + CO → Fe + CO 2. With Solid Carbon in reaction. CO 2 + C → 2CO Direct ...
· HYL, also known as Energiron, technology efficiently reduces iron ore pellets into highly metallized hot or cold iron. Utilizing high operating pressure, the process uses reducing gases within a moving bed shaft furnace reactor to remove oxygen from iron ore pellets and lump ore. The process is independent of any .

Pellets (DRgrade) iron ore concentrate that has been formed into round balls (agglomerated), fired, and indurate at a temperature of about 1360° to 1400° Celsius. Total iron content is typically 66 to 67 percent, and particle size ranges from 9 to 16 mm diameter. Lump natural iron ...
Indian Iron Ore Imports Shoot Up by 44% in FY19; Cross 12 MnT Indian Ferro Chrome prices increased amid improved global market conditions. In China, there is decrease in VAT rates – from 16% to 13% which would have been effective from 1st Apr'19, but the notifiion is still awaited.
Directreduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets or fines) by a reducing gas produced from natural gas or coal. The reducing gas is a mixture majority of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) which acts as reducing agent. This process of directly reducing the iron ore in solid form by reducing gases is called ...
As the oretocoke ratio increases, so does load on the charged materials. An increased pulverized coal injection (PCI) will among other things affect the composition of the ascending reduction gases, the infurnace temperature isotherms and possibly the position of the cohesive zone; all parameters important for the reduction of iron oxides. The loss of pellet strength depends on the ...
Pellets are made from iron ore that is finer than that used for sintered ore. The ore fine is formed into spheroids, called green balls, approximately 12mm in diameter. The green balls are fired into product pellets. The pellets are used as the raw materials not only for blast furnaces but also for gas based direct reduction furnaces, the process becoming popular among natural gas producing ...
In blast furnaces it is desirable for the burden to hold a lumpy packed structure at as high a temperature as possible. The computational thermodynamic software FactSage (version, Thermfact/CRCT, Montreal, Canada and GTTTechnologies, Aachen, Germany) was used here to study the softening behavior of blast furnace pellets. The effects of the main slagforming components (SiO2, MgO, CaO .
· WoodMac head of iron ore research Rohan Kendall said reducing steel emissions would be a "boon for hydrogen demand in steelmaking as well as carbon capture and storage." "Steel's potential extreme decarbonisation in a 2°C scenario would mean tripling DRI production," he said. "This presents a huge opportunity for suppliers of premium iron ore. "Although the rise in scrap ...
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in colour from dark grey, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), goethite, limonite or siderite. Hematite is also known as "natural ore". The name refers to the early ...
The pelletizing discs used for agglomerating iron ore concentrates into pellets are remarkable for their very narrow particle size distribution with a target size of 10 to 14 mm, important for DRProcesses: "It is the direct iron ore reduction process, enabled by those uniform size pellets, which finally leads to the tremendous reduction in greenhouse gases. This innovative pellet based ...
With an ore body 4kmlong, 80mthick and reaching a depth of 2km, LKAB's Kiruna is the world's largest, most modern underground iron ore mine loed in northern Sweden. Since mining began at the iron ore operation more than 100 years ago, LuossavaaraKiirunavaara AB (LKAB) produced over 950Mt of ore, yet only onethird of the original ore body has been extracted.
