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.
Direct reduction processes are an alternative to the traditional blast furnace because of the use of H2 in the reducing gases which generate less CO2. There are two main technologies for direct reduction of iron, Midrex and Energiron or Hyl which together are responsible for 80 of the production of direct reduced iron in the world.
ENERGIRON - Pioneering in direct reduction since the 1950s with the WORLDS FIRST INDUSTRIAL PLANT in 1957 ENERGIRON is the unique direct reduction technology that, with the same process scheme configuration, lets you choose the best energy source - natural gas, reformed gas, Syngas from a coal gasifier or even Coke Oven Gas without any modification
The Direct Iron Ore Smelting Reduction Process DIOS directly uses noncaking coal in a powder or granular form, and iron ore without the use of coke or a sintering process, which are normally required in blast furnace processes. The noncaking coal is directly fed to a smelting reduction furnace, while the iron
the main environmentally related issues involved in the process of producing liquid steel from iron ore by the direct reduction route. The report was examined at the meeting of experts and environmental management guidance for the direct reduction route to steel making was drafted 2. A

3. Direct Reduction Processes Direct reduction is defined as a process of producing solid iron product out of small-grain ore, lump ore or pallets, applying natural gas or coal-based reducing agents at relatively low temperatures i.e. at around 1000OC. There are two different types of direct reduction processes
This procedure, in combination with a direct reduction aggregate, is industrially proven and state of the art. 3, 4 Examples for industrial implementations are the Midrex, 5, 6 Energiron, 7 Circored, 8-10 and Finmet 11, 12 direct reduction processes the Circored process is the only one using only hydrogen as the reducing agent. The second ...
of the method used in the preceding direct reduction process. Figure 3 represents the hot briquetting process for the production of HBI. The direct reduced iron is discharged hot form the reduction process. With a screw this hot feed is pushed into the nip between two counterrotating rollers. Pockets in
In Direct Reduction DR processes, the The process is designed for the direct reduction of characteristics and cost of available iron ores play iron ores in pellet or in lump form by the use of a very important role.
The standard SLRN process has been used for over 40 years to produce direct reduced iron DRI from lump ores or iron ore pellets. However, with the decreasing availa-bility of lump ores the ability to process fine-grained ores and concentrates is becoming increasingly important. The SLRN process cannot be used to treat iron ore concen-

Source RioTinto While years of ironmaking technology innovations have optimized blast furnace productivity, two alternative processessmelting reduction and direct iron reduction are growing in adoption. The alternative processes are touted as more environmentally ...
Other developments to reduce iron ore are concerned with the direct production of liquid iron in a smelting reduction process with a substantial part of the reduction taking place in the liquid oxide phase. The ideal concept of a smelting reduction process with direct use of fine ore and coal as well as only liquid state reduction to a liquid ...
In order to process the direct reduced iron into crude steel, it is necessary to melt down and add small amounts of carbon in the EAF 14, 2, 19. Due to the almost complete switch from BOF to ...
Nov 18, 2020 The Direct Reduction process, which is used to produce HBI, is the most environmentally friendly iron production method. It lacks the emissions that are traditionally associated with the production of coke, sintering ore and pig iron, as well as the solid waste in the form of slag.
Direct Reduced Iron Industry in India Problems and Prospects T.R. Ramachandra Rao Consultant Mineral Processing, Iron amp Steel Technology and Engineering Abstract India is the largest producer of Direct Reduced Iron in the world with annual capacity of nearly 10 Mt comprising coal and gas based DRI plants. India has the largest coal based DRI
applications including ferrovanadium, nickel carbonate, nickel laterite, iron ore reduction, and spodumene lithium production. In this paper the direct reduction of iron ore to sponge iron is used as an example. The model incorporates a large number of variables, covering, among others feed properties and rates, combustion
All effective methods of direct reduction actually use the same process rich iron ore fine concentrate or pellets is reduced by a special gas mixture up to the iron content of 85-90. This explains why the production of direct-reduced iron is mainly concentrated in countries with large reserves of oil oilwell gas, natural gas and iron ore ...
3 HYL Direct Reduction Process HYL is a process designed for the direct reduction of iron ores by use of reducing H2 and CO gases. As presented in Figure 1 above, there are three process schemes available for producing DRI Cold DRI discharge is commonly used in
Jan 19, 2019 In the case of the HyL process, for instance, it is stipulated that the basicity of the pellets must not be less than 0.75 but optimal steel-furnace economy normally requires a basicity value of 1.1. In direct reduction, as opposed to blast furnace operation, the entire reduction process must occur in
Direct Reduced Iron Technology Committee MISSION To focus on the emerging market and technological trends for the production, handling, and use of direct reduced iron DRI and hot briquetted iron HBI products as well as present and future alternative iron production technology.
ENERGIRON is the innovative HYL direct reduction technology jointly developed by Techint and Danieli, and whose name derives from the unique DRI product which distinguishes this technology from other available processes. Plant capacities range from the 200,000 tpa Micro-Module up to 2.5million tpa in a single module.
Feb 09, 2021 During the reduction process in the production of direct reduced iron, either coal or a special gas commonly containing a combination of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is used. This mixture functions as a reducing agent and facilitates the decrease in the irons oxygen and carbon content. The result is a type of iron that is 90-97 pure, containing only minuscule amounts of carbon
The studies confirmed the essential feasibility of the project using the proven MIDREX Direct Reduction Process, which utilizes natural gas to reduce iron ore lumps or pellets. Kobe Steel has been responsible for the overall organization of this project, which is an international joint venture involving Japanese, Venezuelan and Mexican investors.
