The coalbased direct reduction process converts iron oxides into metallic iron under solid state. In the DRI technique, temperatures play the most important role in the reduction process. ... The monotonic reduction of the composite (iron ore/coal) will result in volume shrinkage followed by mass loss, as well as yields in indirect reduction ...
An innovative coalbased direct reduction process of lowgrade iron ore coal composite minipellets in lowtemperature rotary kiln has been developed by Central South University. In this approach, 38 mm pellets were made of mixture of sodium additives, iron ore and coal.

Iron ore reduction is an important process in the iron/steelmaking industry, where iron ore is reduced to metallic iron, usually with coal, coke, natural gas, CO, or hydrogen as the reducing agents. ... direct reduction (DR)—electric arc furnace (EAF). Sponge iron instead of liquid hot metal is produced and then this direct reduced iron is ...
The RHF process was originally developed as an alternative to gasbased direct reduction, making DRI from iron ore and coal. The process started from the patent of D. Beggs applied by MidlandRoss Corporation in 1965 [144]. This process was known as Heat Fast [145].
This process allows the direct utilization of fine iron ores and coal instead of sinter and coke. The fluidized bed reactor system is fed with iron ore fines of a particle size smaller than 8 × 10 −3 m ( Ahn et al ., 2010 ) and additives such as limestone or dolomite.
This product is known as direct reduced iron (DRI) or sponge iron. Processes that produce iron by reduction of iron ore (in solid state) below the melting point are generally classified as DR ...
The coalbased direct reduction characteristics of lowgrade iron ore during lignite pyrolysis were investigated. Especially, the coal used as reducing agent contains a high percentage of volatile matter and a low percentage of fixed carbon, which could produce a large amount of H 2 and CO during pyrolysis at high temperature and improve the speed of reduction reaction.
The principle of the process of the direct reduction of iron ore is shown in Fig 2. ... 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 ...
Iron ore direct reduction is an attractive alternative steelmaking process in the context of greenhouse gas mitigation. To simulate the process and explore possible optimization, we developed a systemic, multiscale process model. The reduction of the iron ore pellets is described using a specific grain model, reflecting the transformations from hematite to iron. The shaft furnace is modeled as ...
Direct reduction. New Zealand Steel steel complex, fed by direct reduction rotary furnaces (SL/RN process) [1] (capacity 650,000 t/year). [2] In the iron and steel industry, direct reduction is a set of processes for obtaining iron from iron ore, by reducing iron oxides without melting the metal. The resulting product is prereduced iron ore.
The CoalOreDirectIronReduction (Codir) process combines features of the Waelz Kiln and the KruppRenn process [52]. The KruppRenn is an iron ore reduction process designed for lowgrade ores that at one time had over 40 commercial installations, but high energy costs and availability of highergrade ores led to the shutdown of all ...
The sponge iron produced by direct reduction was melted and solidified. In the second stage, Hematite ore in the form of pellets was reduced using solid carbon in a furnace heated up to 1,100°C for 60 and 120 minutes. Reduction degree of process was evaluated as a function of time and the ratio of C fix /Fe total .
Contact. Maximising coal recovery in challenging geologies represents a significant efficiency opportunity for most coal mining operations to increase the value of their resource. As the easy coal is mined out, mine operators need to become more skillful at mining thin, steep, deep and undulating seams productively and without sacrificing coal ...
The COREX process is a twostage direct smelting process, consisting of (1) a meltergasifier, which melts the DRI and gasifies the coal (Zhou et al. 2018), and (2) a DRI shaft furnace mounted above meltergasifier (You et al. 2018), which reduces lump ore or pellets to DRI by reducing gas from the meltergasifier (Fig. ).
Design, engineering, delivery, and services for traditional SL/RN direct reduction plants based on a rotary kiln, with noncoking coal as the reductant and fuel. Design, engineering, delivery, and services for SL/ RNXtra plants, which use a combination of a prehardening grate and traditional SL/RN kiln for the treatment of iron ore fines.
In this paper, we propose and assess a potential design for a fossilfree steelmaking process based on direct reduction of iron ore with hydrogen. We show that hydrogen direct reduction steelmaking needs MWh of electricity per tonne of liquid steel, mainly for the electrolyser hydrogen production. ... but instead of coal and coke the ...
The reduction process takes place in the reduction tower. A tower is the heart of the plant. The direct reduction process is a complex process, which, explained in simple terms, consists of the following steps: Raw material iron ore pellets: Iron ore pellets the raw material are fed into the reactor; Natural gas is converted into ...
The gasbased direct reduction of iron ore pellets was carried out by simulating the typical gas composition in coal gasification process, Midrex and HylIII processes. The influences of gas composition and temperature on reduction were studied. Results show that the increasing of H2 proportion is helpful to improve the reduction rate. However, when φ(H2):φ(CO)>:1, changes of H2 content ...
KruppCodir Process: Codir stands for coal, ore direct reduction. It is very similar to KruppRenn process but operates comparatively at a much lower temperature. Here limestone or dolomites are charged into the kiln. The first Codir plant started its operation in 1973 in South Africa.
