Although there is no commercial DRI process that uses biomass as the reducing agent, ... Developments in the use of RHFs for coalbased DR of iron go back at least to the development of the HeatFast process at Surface Combustion in the 1960s [52]. However, Surface Combustion and their parent company MidlandRoss decided to focus on their gas ...
DRI can be produced in powder, pellet, lump, or briquette form. The powder, pellets, and lumps retain the shape of the iron oxide material fed into the DR process. The removal of oxygen leaves voids, giving the DRI a spongy appearance when viewed through a microscope.
DR process configuration, from the total Carbon input to the DR plant, only 1025% (depending on the Carbon content in the DRI) exits the process as combined Carbon in the DRI. By the principle of mass conservation, the balance must leave the process, which for the DR process, is in the gaseous form as CO 2.
The main raw materials for the production of DRI by the rotary kiln process are (i) sized graded iron ore or iron ore pellets, (ii) noncoking coal, and (iii) dolomite in small quantities to scavenge the sulphur. Iron ore of the right quality is the basic input for the coal based direct reduction process.
Fig 4 Flowsheet of Midrex process. Coal based process. In a coal based process, the reactor for the reduction reaction is a rotary kiln which is slightly inclined to the horizontal position. The process of direct reduction is carried out with the operating temperatures maintained in a range from 1,000 deg C to 1,100 deg C.
DRI or sponge iron refers to porous iron produced by the DR process.a solidstate reaction process (, solidsolid or solidgas reaction) in which removable oxygen is removed from the iron oxide, using coal or reformed natural gas as reductants, below the melting and fusion point of the lump ore or agglomerates of fine ore.
Among the various DR processes, the MIDREX process dominates the market accounting for % of the total DRI production in 2019, followed by % from the coalbased rotary kiln process and % from the ENERGIRON process (MIDREX, 2019). As the gasbased DR processes are producing about 76% of the world's DRI, and MIDREX and ENERGIRON ...

To reach a reduction degree of the hot DRI product of 95%, t of iron oxide input material containing input materials per ton of DRI are required for the DRNG as well as the DRH 2 process. Based on NG which contains approximately 95% methane, the simulation results in an NG demand of approximately 259 m 3 STP t −1 DRI for the reference case.
DRI has been fast gaining ground throughout the world since the 1980s mainly because of the shortage of coking coal for BF and steel scrap in steelmaking. DRI is produced by the DR of iron ore by ...
Direct reduction processes may be classified, according to the type of the reducing agent used, to gasbased and coalbased processes. In 2000, DRI produced from the gasbased processes accounted for 93%, while the coalbased processes produced 7%. Gasbased processes have shaft furnaces for reducing.
Rio Tinto and other steel and mining groups have highlighted the need to adapt processes for DRI plants which have traditionally run on reformed natural gas as new plants are developed for 100% hydrogenbased reduction. Many such projects expect to create hydrogen for DRI with electrolysis using renewable power from wind and solar projects.
Important limitations among other coalbased DR processes are: size of single moduleplants available, restrictions on the use of high sulfur coals, undesirable amount of gangue and sulfur in the DRI product, unproven technologies and high operating costs. A summary of existing and emerging coalbased DR processes is included in Table 1. Table 1
From a technical perspective, the challenge of decarbonization involves two processes: chemical reduction for iron ore refining (process emission), commonly with metallurgical coal and coke, and from the high temperature heat sourced required to operate BF and other production reactors [ (Friedmann et al., 2019)].
It has successfully replaced the syngas times,, 56,000 Nm ³ /h COG is replacing 66,000 Nm ³ /h syngas without affecting the DRI productivity. Subsequently, times costlier syngas ...
Kobe Steel has developed coalbased direct reduction (DR) technologies, the FASTMET, FASTMELT and ITmk3 processes, which reduce carbon composite agglomerates (pellets or briquettes) on the hearth of a rotary hearth furnace (RHF). This paper outlines the features of each process, status of technical development and commercialization.
A model of the EAF energy efficiency was developed based on a closed mass and energy balance of the EAF melting process. This model was applied to industrial EAFs in steel industry charged with ...
In coalbased DRI process, accretion formation inside the rotary kiln is a genuine complex problem. Accretion formation in a rotary kiln of 100 tpd DRI plant has been investigated. The nature of accretion formation with respect to the charge burden and operational parameter have been discussed. High ash content in the coal and excess use of dolomite lead to accretion formation. Two different ...
Global productions of blast furnace iron (BFI) and direct reduced iron (DRI) between 1980 and 2012 (Anon 1, 2014; Anon 2, 2014). ... However in the coal/oilbased DR process, the reducing gas is generated from hydrocarbons (primarily coal, but sometimes oil and natural gas) in the reduction zone of the furnace, which is typically a rotary ...
DRI is produced through the removal (reduction) of oxygen from iron ore in its solid state. This technology encompasses various processes based on different feedstocks, reactors, and reducing agents. DRI processes can reduce CO 2 emissions by using natural gas instead of coal due to the replacement of carbon reductant by hydrogen from the methane.
In comparison to gasbased processes, the coalbased DRI production process is quite energy intensive and poses environmentrelated issues. Being a developing country with steel demand projected to reach between 500 and 760 million tonne (Mt) by 2050, the country needs to adopt energyefficient and environmentfriendly steel production ...
Based on the types of reductant used, DR processes can be broadly classified into two groups: (1) coalbased DR process and (2) gasbased DR process. Details of DR processes,...
To avoid locking in further coalbased steelmaking capacity for decades, some technology switching to DRIelectric arc furnace (EAF) processes will be required before then. Potential new DRgrade iron ore capacity by 2030 ranges from 40 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to an optimistic high of 100Mtpa. Unless technology innovations allow use of ...
In India, steel produced through DRI is about 3 t CO 2 /t of steel, due to its large reliance on coal (82%) as an input into DRI production, with the remainder of DRI using natural gas (18%) [25, 33, 34]. Natural gasbased Midrex direct reduction process along with EAF has one of the lowest carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions of steel production ...
The development of the HDR process, in addition to the limitations caused by the reduction or the elimination of carbon in the process, creates changes in the operating conditions of the equipment (such as operating pressure). ...

efficiency. Both coal and gasbased DRI plants are operational in India. However, the share of coalbased DRI production is quite substantial and in comparison to gasbased production, this route is energy and carbonintensive. To meet the DRI production target of 80 million tonne by 203031 as envisaged under the
Direct reduced iron ( DRI ), also called sponge iron, [1] is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) into iron by a reducing gas or elemental carbon produced from natural gas or coal. Many ores are suitable for direct reduction.
