· Iron ore is preheated and fed into a reduction shaft, where it is converted to direct reduced iron (DRI) and further compacted to hot briquetted iron (HBI). Hydrogen generated in an electrolysis unit is preheated in a condenser before being supplied to the shaft where it acts as the reducing agent. Surplus hydrogen is recycled back to the shaft feed and generated water is supplied .
· 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. Figure 1. Open in figure ...

· Massive hematite ore (MHO) is a special high grade iron ore used as lump ore in the process of obtaining direct reduced iron (DRI). The influence of porosity on the reducibility has been investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopes. Hematite is the main component of the samples and occurs as granular crystals (10 μm), microplates (1 μm) and euhedral martite (1030 μm ...
Influence of Direct Reduction Condition of Hematite. 13/12/2016· Direct reduced iron (DRI) is the product of some commercial direct reduction (DR) of iron ore on base of natural gas. DRI tends to oxidize in air generally above 300 °C and then follows spontaneous combustion. To control the oxidation mechanism, several investigators have used ...
· Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI): A DRI product hot discharged from the MIDREX® Shaft Furnace into a rollertype press that molds the reduced material into dense pillowshaped briquettes. This product is used in EAFs, blast furnaces and BOFs. Hot DRI (HDRI): This product is like CDRI physically yet contains heat from the reduction process to help make EAF operations more efficient and productive ...
· Well over 100 ironmaking furnaces, which mostly rely on processes known as Midrex and HYLEnergiron, instead use natural gas to produce direct reduced iron (DRI), a kind of sponge iron.
Direct reduction of iron ore pellets (DRI) with and without biomass was studied using hydrogen as the reducing agent. The influences of temperature and time on the reduction rate of pellets were ...
· Direct reduced iron (DRI) is the product of some commercial direct reduction (DR) of iron ore on base of natural gas. DRI tends to oxidize in air generally above 300 °C and then follows spontaneous combustion. To control the oxidation mechanism, several investigators have used different iron samples and methods. This paper gives the results of experimental work carried out for .
reductant, hydrogen, will only leave water and no carbon dioxide. The direct reduced iron (DRI) remains in its solid form and needs to be melted in an EAF before steel is produced. This will lead to a drastic increase in energy consumption, in the order of 15 TWh; this to melt the sponge iron and produce hydrogen through electrolysis. The largest cutback of carbon dioxide will be associated ...
THE rising interests in appliion of directreduced iron (DRI) have given the researchers new challenges in this area. An important factor in production of DRI in industrial practice, such as MIDREX or HYL pro cesses, is the dynamic control of the process in the reactors. This dynamic control along with optimization of the process is essential to ensure both smooth process operation and the ...
The capacity of DRI (direct reduced iron) producing plants is increasing continuously to satisfy the upcoming demand on scrap substitutes as feed material in electric arc furnaces. In 1985 the annually produced DRI exceeded 10 million tons, in 1992 20 million tons and in 1999 38 million,2) One branch of processes reduces fine iron ore directly with steamreformed natural gas in ...
· The reduction gas, H 2, is supplied over the fence from a gas supplier. A dry dedusting system takes care of dust recycling to prevent emissions from the processes involved. The hot direct reduced iron (HDRI) leaves the reduction unit at a temperature of approx. 600 °C before its cooled down and discharged from the HYFOR pilot plant. The ...
DRI, direct reduced iron, is produced through the removal (reduction) of oxygen from iron ore in its solidstate. This technology encompasses various processes based on different feedstocks, reactors, and reducing agents. DRI processes can reduce CO2 emissions by using natural gas instead of coal due to the replacement of carbon reductant by hydrogen from methane. Basic characteristics of ...

The metal product of the above process is directreduced iron (DRI) that is not contaminated with carbon, due to lack of direct interaction between ore and carbon, as well as with various impurities that could potentially come from coke. This product contains about 1 % carbon and 90 % Fe. It is also not suitable for the production of vital metal parts, and it can only be used as a raw material ...
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), also known as Sponge Iron, offers an alternative steel production route to BFBOF and ScrapEAF routes. In DRI, iron ore is reduced in its solid state – unlike BF process where a liquid metal is formed during reduction. DRI can then be transformed to steel in electric arc furnaces. DRI production is common in Middle East, South America, India and Mexico.
