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.

these, the ore is heated rapidly in an oxidizing atmos phere to eliminate sulfur pickup, minimize sticking, and ensure easy temperature control of the reduction. Some direct reduction processes using gaseous fuels employ shafttype reduction furnaces and reformed natural gas or coal gas. On the other hand, some processes are based on the ...
A thick slag layer is situated above the metal bath. Iron ore fines, coal and fluxes are injected directly into the melt in the smelt reduction vessel. The process uses iron ore fines directly with noncoking coal (5070% fixed carbon, 1038% volatile matter and 512% ash; less than 10% ash is preferred).
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 .
The process principles are the basis for numerous rotary kiln plants and still represent the dominant technology for the direct reduction of lump ore or pellets using coal. Operates with the widest range of ironbearing materials, such as pellets, lump ore, beach sand, ilmenite and also iron ore fines with SL/RNXtra.
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.
Abstract A mathematical model of direct reduction in an iron orecoal char composite pellet is presented. The model incorporates heat transfer, devolatilisation, pellet size change, and three reduction steps (hematite to magnetite, magnetite to wustite, wustite to iron) as well as carbon consumption during the reduction. The model predictions are in good agreement with experimental data. The ...
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].
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 ...
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 ...
Iron making. The primary objective of iron making is to release iron from chemical combination with oxygen, and, since the blast furnace is much the most efficient process, it receives the most attention here. Alternative methods known as direct reduction are used in over a score of countries, but less than 5 percent of iron is made this way. A third group of ironmaking techniques classed as ...
Methods of producing low carbon wrought iron directly from the ore are known as direct reduction process. After the development of the blast furnace, the DR processes ... 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

A direct reduction plant is fed with iron ore pellets or lump ore. The pelletizing process is outside the system boundaries for the energyrelated consideration of Fig. 6 . Anyway, the process of pelletizing is less energyintensive than the sintering process and using directly lump ore instead of pellets is a possibility, as well.
