4.4 Direct Reduction. Direct reduced iron is iron ore in the form of lumps, fines or pellets that have had the oxygen removed by using hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Typical sources of carbon monoxide are natural gas, coal gas, and coal. Other energy inputs into the production process often include oil and electricity. Since much of the energy used is in the form of natural gas (e.g., Mexico
Direct reduction processes can be divided roughly into two categories: gas-based, and coal-based. In both cases, the objective of the process is to remove the oxygen contained in various forms of iron ore (sized ore, concentrates, pellets, mill scale, furnace dust, etc.), in order to convert the ore to metallic iron, without melting it (below 1,200 °C (2,190 °F)). The direct reduction process is comparatively energy efficient. Steelmade using DRI requires significant
The basis of the direct reduction process is that solid sponge iron is produced by removing oxygen from the ore in a shaft furnace, rotary kiln furnace or fluidised bed. Sponge iron can be produced in the form of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) and Cold Briquetted Iron (CBI); also Low Reduced Iron (LRI), which is pre-reduced iron ore with a reduction and metallisation
21/06/2018 Sponge iron is a highly ferrous ore from the direct reduced iron process! In order to prevent excessive re-oxidation of the sponge iron in the ambient air, it must be cooled down in the lower region of the shaft furnace. Carburisation as in the blast furnace process does not occur in the DRI-process, as coke is not used as a reducing agent. Thus the carbon content of the sponge iron

Direct reduction of iron is the removal of oxygen from iron ore or other iron bearing materials in the solid state, i.e. without melting, as in the blast furnace. The reducing agents are carbon monoxide and hydrogen, coming from reformed natural gas, syngas or coal. Iron ore is used mostly in pellet and/or lumpy form. The chemical reactions involved in the direct reduction of iron are the
Direct-reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets or fines) by a reducing gas produced from natural gas or coal. The reducing gas is a mixture majority of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) which acts as reducing agent. This process of directly reducing the iron ore in solid form by reducing gases is called
The Direct Reduction of Iron Ore Methods of making steel without smelting ore in a blast furnace are becoming increasingly economic where steelmaking facilities of modest scale are needed, notably in the developing countries The iron ore from which iron and steel are made is an oxide, that is, a chemi cal compound of iron (Fe) and oxy gen (0). Common forms of ore are hematite (Fe20a) and

The direct reduction process uses pelletized iron ore or natural "lump" ore. One exception is the fluidized bed process which requires sized iron ore particles. The direct reduction process can use natural gas contaminated with inert gases, avoiding the

1.1 Direct Reduced Iron Direct reduced iron is produced by the reduction of iron ore by carbon monoxide and hydrogen, as illustrated in simplified form in the equations below: Fe 2O 3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO 2. Fe 2O 3 + 3H 2 → 2Fe + 3H 2O . There are several processes for direct reduction of iron ore, principally gas-based shaft furnaces
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is the product of the direct reduction of iron ore in the solid state by carbon monoxide and hydrogen derived from natural gas or coal. See more information about the production of DRI. Most gas-based direct reduction plants are part of integrated steel mini-mills, located adjacent to the electric arc furnace (EAF) steel plant. DRI can be either hot or cold charged to
The iron-ores that are charged into the process go through fluidized bed reactors where they are heated and reduced to Direct Reduced Iron (DRI). The DRI is then charged into the melter gasifier where the final reduction and melting as well as the production of reducing gas by gasification of coal with oxygen takes place ( Schenk, 2011 ).

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 direct reduction process uses pelletized iron ore or natural "lump" ore. One exception is the fluidized bed process which requires sized iron ore particles. The direct reduction process can use natural gas contaminated with inert gases, avoiding the
Whereas the production of sponge iron from iron ore pellets is already commercially applied, the direct H 2 reduction of crude iron ore powder has the advantages of omitting the sintering stage that is the major energy consumer and CO 2 emission source of the iron-making process, together with the blast furnace. Sintering is indeed required to produce a sinter cake to be loaded into the blast
u A direct reduced iron (DRI) production plant is a shaft reduction furnace to produce DRI with large metal iron content by directly reducing iron ore (or iron ore pellets) with reducing gases. u While the produced DRI is mainly used as the raw material of electric steelmaking, it is also used as blast furnace feed for energy saving (reduction in coke consumption) and increased production of
Direct reduced iron (DRI) is a type of alternative iron made by heating iron ore so that the oxygen and carbon burns off while the temperature is kept below iron's melting point. Direct-reduced iron is also known as sponge iron and is sold as briquettes, lumps, or pellets. It is typically used in smaller scale steel mills to enhance the condition of the steel that is manufactured.
01/12/2015 The reduced iron powder is the most widely used material in powder metallurgy industry. The direct reduction process has commonly been used by many companies to obtain metallic iron powder by the reaction of iron oxide (magnetite, hematite ore or mill scale) and reducing gases (CO/H 2) at high temperatures (>1,000°C) [1–3].
13/05/2020 Due to its high implementation rate, representing about 65% of the total worldwide produced direct reduced iron (DRI), the MIDREX process was selected as basis for the following considerations (see Figure 1). The key component of the DR process is a shaft furnace, where the reduction of iron ore to sponge iron by using NG or other gaseous reducing agents takes place.
DRI Direct Reduced Iron DRI is reduced iron pellet and/or lump, which is cooled and discharged at low (ambient) temperatures. The process characteristics allow for independent control of the DRI metallization and carbon levels. Metallization can be adjusted at will, typically around 94% and higher. _ DRI carbon levels can be selected in
Gas-based direct reduction of iron ore falls into that category, whether from the MIDREX Process or from HYL/Energiron. Both technologies generate H2 on-site via a reformer and the hydrogen is used for direct reduction in the adjacent shaft furnace. “GREEN” HYDROGEN. Another technology for H2 production is electrolysis, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Water
