Almost all commercially available oxide pellets have less than 0.01% sulfur and are suitable for direct reduction. Some types of lump ores contain 0.01% or less sulfur. Cold discharge plants can tolerate at least 0.03% sulfur in the feed, which is close to the acceptable limit for reduced product used for making steel.

Industrial-scale hydrogen-ironmaking, also known as direct reduction of iron (DRI) using hydrogen, is a process that aims to produce iron without the use of fossil fuels ( Chevrier, 2020; van Vuuren et al., 2022; Tang et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2021; Ledari et al., 2023 ). This process has the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide ...

The same also applies for processes replacing carbon-containing reducing agents by hydrogen either in solid state (direct reduction [DR]) or in liquid state (plasma smelting reduction). ... This will result in a remaining minimum energy demand of 2300–2500 kWh t −1 DRI which is required for the reduction of iron ores itself. In addition, ...

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 fine iron ore with diameter range of 106–150 μm [ (− 45 + 60) mesh TYLER size fraction] was used in all the reduction experiments. Its true density is about 4939 kg/m 3 and the bulk density is about 2209 kg/m 3. The H 2 and N 2 gases used for reduction were of 99.999% purity, and the CO gas was of 99.99% purity.

Thus, alternative reduction technologies have to be implemented for extracting iron from its ores. The hydrogen-based direct reduction has been explored as a sustainable route to mitigate CO2 ...

In the past few decades, direct reduction of iron ores has become an important step in iron making. Over the years, several direct reduction processes, which range from the ones using ore fines to.

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 …

Production of direct reduced iron (DRI) was performed by a novel and environmentally friendly approach through a systematic experimental process development and process integration study on bio-oil reforming and iron ores reduction. The Ni–Cu–Zn–Al2O3 catalyst is one of most suitable candidates for bio-oil reforming …

A new process (direct reduction and flash smelting separation (FSS)) of treating high phosphorus iron ore (HPIO) is introduced in this paper. By limiting the smelting separation between slag and iron to the level of about 1 s, the reduction and migration process of P element was restrained, and the content of P element in the metallic iron ...

Steel production causes a third of all industrial CO2 emissions due to the use of carbon-based substances as reductants for iron ores, making it a key driver of global warming. Therefore, research efforts aim to replace these reductants with sustainably produced hydrogen. Hydrogen-based direct reduction (HyDR) is an attractive processing …

The reduction of iron oxide is the basis of all ironmaking processes, whether in a blast furnace or by direct reduction and/or direct smelting processes. The reduction characteristics of iron ores ...

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is the product of the reduction of iron ores (lumps, pellets, or fines) in solid-state by gaseous or carbonaceous substances [22, 23]. The …

The reduction gases only dissolve oxygen from the iron ores. This causes the iron ores to crack on the surface. The appearance resembles a porous sponge, which is why the deoxidized and thus strongly ferrous iron ore is also called sponge iron. Sponge iron is a highly ferrous ore from the direct reduced iron process!
