The Circored process uses pure H 2 to reduce iron ore with a particle size less than 1 mm, and the reduction rate of iron ore powder for 15 min at 650 °C can reach 70%. To improve the efficiency of the entire production process, 4 h H 2 reduction of iron ore powder from CFB is needed to achieve a metallization rate of 95%.

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 iron-bearing materials, such as pellets, lump ore, beach sand, ilmenite and also iron ore fines with SL/RN-Xtra.
Although it is still the prevalent process, blast furnace hot metal production has declined over the years due to diminishing quality of metallurgical coke, low supply of scrap metal and environmental problems associated with the process. ... 10.1016/B978-1-78242-156-6.00016-2.

Circored is the only hydrogen-based process for iron ore reduction that has proven its functionality and performance in an industrial-scale demonstration plant. The plant, which commenced operations in 1999 in Trinidad, produced over 300,000 tons of high-quality HBI over several months of successful operation.
This paper addresses the modeling of the iron ore direct reduction process, a process likely to reduce CO2 emissions from the steel industry. The shaft furnace is divided into three sections …
The P content increased continuously from metallic iron, wustite, fayalite, to apatite. During the reduction process, the P dissolved from apatite entered and formed P-bearing fayalite. In high-grade iron ore, P was released from P-bearing fayalite, reduced to a gaseous state, and finally absorbed by metallic iron.
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 …
3.1. Removal of General Elements and the Selective Reduction of Oxides in Direct Reduction Process. The reduction of oxidized pellets by hydrogen can effectively decrease sulfur and carbon in iron ore. Figure 2 shows the changes in carbon and sulfur content in each step, in which "ppmw" means parts per million by weight.
The iron ore reduction process must go through several phases between Fe3O4 (magnetite), FeO (wustite) and Fe. In the process of reducing the existence of intermediate phase it is very difficult to observe, since the reduction of iron oxide reaction is simultaneous whereas the existence of the intermediate phase is very influential on the …
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. ... Circored and Finmet / Finored gas-based processes utilize iron ore fines as feedstock.The SLRN coal-based rotary kiln process uses lump ore and, increasingly, pellets as feedstock
The reduction kinetics of iron ore with H 2 and its re-oxidation with air are investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) over reiterated reduction/oxidation cycles. Using non-isothermal methods, three steps of reaction have been identified for reduction (activation energies of 133, 30 and 83 kJ/mol) and two for re-oxidation (30 …
DRI production. 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 …
In the FIOR process, iron ore undergoes preheating in a combustion bed and subsequently enters a vertical tube while in a fluidized state, progressing towards a first-stage reduction reactor. The fluidized iron ore feedstock retains some air, which is effectively eliminated using steam as it passes through the vertical pipe.
Nearly 90 pct of the global iron production [] is through the blast furnace route. The process involves the reduction of iron oxide, from pellets and sinters and …
Midrex Process for Direct Reduction of Iron Ore. Midrex is an ironmaking process, developed for the production of direct reduced iron (DRI). It is a gas-based shaft furnace process is a solid state reduction process which reduces iron ore pellets or lump ore into DRI without their melting using reducing gas generally formed from natural gas ...

Direct reduction and smelting reduction are the primary processes in non-blast furnace ironmaking technology [8].Direct reduction ironmaking technology produces direct reduced iron (DRI) by using non-coking coal, liquid, or gaseous reductants in direct contact with iron ore fines, without slagging or melting [9].Gas-based direct reduction …
Outotec's Circored technology is the first process for iron ore reduction based on hydrogen and has proven its functionality and performance in an industrial-scale demonstration plant. In addition, Outotec has a proprietary technological solution for direct reduced iron (DRI) smelting in a six-in-line furnace, …
The process of reducing iron ore with H 2 is highly endothermic (Eqs. (1), (2), (3)) (Huang, 2013), and a large amount of extra heat is needed because no carbon source is added during the process. If the temperature of the inlet reducing gas remains unchanged, the burden materials in the shaft furnace will cool down rapidly when the …

Iron- and steelmaking is the largest single industrial CO 2 emitter, accounting for 6.5% of all CO 2 emissions on the planet. This fact challenges the current technologies to achieve carbon-lean steel production and to align with the requirement of a drastic reduction of 80% in all CO 2 emissions by around 2050. Thus, alternative reduction …

The shaft furnace is where iron ore is converted to metallic. Iron oxide, in pellet or lump form, is introduced through a proportioning hopper at the top of the shaft furnace. As the iron ore descends through the furnace by …
During reduction of a porous iron ore particle, the following process steps occur: 19, 22-24 mass transfer of the gaseous species (reducing gases H 2 and CO) from the gas stream through the laminar layer of the oxide to the interface; diffusion through macro- and micropores to the oxide interface; adsorption at the oxide interface; oxygen ...
Hence, the iron and steel industries are trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and make the iron production process more environmental-friendly by developing new technologies . ...
