COREX is a smelting reduction process owned by Primetals that produces iron directly from iron ore and noncoking coal (COREX®, 2020). This process combines a reduction shaft and melting gasifier, as shown in Fig. 4 a. The key difference between the BF and COREX processes is noncoking coal and the direct use of iron ore.
The FINEX is the latest addition and an optimized fineore smelting reduction (SR) iron making process based on the direct use of the coal and iron ore fines. FINEX Process is a fluidized bed based process using ore fines instead using iron ore lumps and pellets.

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 ...
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. ).
As a renewable, carbonneutral raw material, the application of biomass in steel production is conducive to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving green and sustainable development in the steel industry. The heating and reduction process of a rotary hearth furnace was simulated under laboratory conditions to roast and reduce biochar carbonbearing pellets with coke powder and ...
Background In a DR process, iron ore pellets and/or lump iron ores are reduced by a reducing gas to produce DRI or hot briquetted iron (HBI). Depending on the generation of the reducing gas, two different DR processes are commercially available: gasbased and coal/oilbased.
Recent Achievements in Conventional Coal Gasification Processes. Stroud(General Rapporteur), in Oils and Gases from Coal, 1980 Reducing Gases. There are three ways in which gases can be used in ironmaking. They can be injected into the tuyeres and boshes of blast furnaces to obviate the use of oil or natural gas or used for direct ore reduction.
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 ...
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 DREAF route significantly reduced the consumption of coke and coal while maintaining the same productivity as the BFBOF route, but still results in significant carbon emissions owing to the use of NG in the direct reduction ironmaking process. ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
The rotary kiln DRI process offers 11% and % lower GHG emissions on the lowest and highest end of the sensitivity band, when compared to the coal gasifier DRI process.

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.
