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)).
New Zealand Steel steel complex, fed by direct reduction rotary furnaces (SL/RN process) [1] (capacity 650,000 t/year). [2] In the iron and steel industry, direct reduction is a set of processes for obtaining iron from iron ore, by reducing iron oxides without melting the metal. The resulting product is pre-reduced iron ore.
In the 1960s, Japanese steelmakers, sharing the observation that furnace plugging was difficult to control, developed their own low-temperature variants of the Krupp-Renn process. [11] Kawasaki Steel commissioned a direct-reduction furnace at its Eastern Japan steel plant (1968) and Western Japan steel plant (1975) plants, the most visible ...
ArcelorMittal's (MT) upcoming hydrogen DRI steel plant in Hamburg, the country's pioneering first-of-its-kind, has been offered financial help of Euro 55 million by the German Federal Government.
ArcelorMittal (MT) gets backing from Belgium and Flanders governments for a Euro 1.1-billion DRI plant project in Gent, which will be a significant effort toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
The Corex Process is a smelting reduction process created by Primetals Technologies as a more environmentally friendly alternative to the blast furnace. [1] Presently, the majority of steel production is through the blast furnace which has to rely on coking coal [2] and requires a sinter plant in order to prepare the iron ore for reduction. [3]
US Steel’s potential acquisition by a Japanese rival steelmaker may face pushback by the US government, according to comments made by US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
In an integrated steel mill, iron ore is reduced to metallic iron. In the US, this is done in blast furnaces and since 2014 again using direct reduced iron furnaces in Nucor's plant in Louisiana as well as another DRI plant (producing a compactified version of DRI called hot briquetted iron, or HBI) in Texas by Voestalpine. Some of the iron ...
