DR process configuration, from the total Carbon input to the DR plant, only 1025% (depending on the Carbon content in the DRI) exits the process as combined Carbon in the DRI. By the principle of mass conservation, the balance must leave the process, which for the DR process, is in the gaseous form as CO 2.

Hot HBI from briquetting is separated to individual briquettes and cooled. Coal Based Direct Reduction : Coal based direct reduction technologies involve reduction of iron oxides in a rotary kiln by using noncoking coal as reductant.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Rio Tinto and other steel and mining groups have highlighted the need to adapt processes for DRI plants which have traditionally run on reformed natural gas as new plants are developed for hydrogenbased reduction. Many such projects expect to create hydrogen for DRI with electrolysis using renewable power from wind and solar projects.

Whilst natural gas is the most used feedstock for the direct reduction process, MIDREX® also offers its MXCOL™ technology which can use coalbased syngas as the reducing agent.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In coalbased DRI process, accretion formation inside the rotary kiln is a genuine complex problem. Accretion formation in a rotary kiln of 100 tpd DRI plant has been investigated. The nature of accretion formation with respect to the charge burden and operational parameter have been discussed. High ash content in the coal and excess use of dolomite lead to accretion formation. Two different ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The work proposes a perspective on the direct reduction of iron (DRI) using hydrogen. Typically, iron is produced in blast furnaces (BFI) by the reduction of iron ore with carbonrich materials such as coal or coke. Greenhouse emissions may be drastically reduced by introducing DRI coal/oilbased, and further reduced by using methanebased DRI.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The main raw materials for the production of DRI by the rotary kiln process are (i) sized graded iron ore or iron ore pellets, (ii) noncoking coal, and (iii) dolomite in small quantities to scavenge the sulphur. Iron ore of the right quality is the basic input for the coal based direct reduction process.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377DRI or sponge iron refers to porous iron produced by the DR process.a solidstate reaction process (, solidsolid or solidgas reaction) in which removable oxygen is removed from the iron oxide, using coal or reformed natural gas as reductants, below the melting and fusion point of the lump ore or agglomerates of fine ore.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In comparison to gasbased processes, the coalbased DRI production process is quite energy intensive and poses environmentrelated issues.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377DRI is produced through the removal (reduction) of oxygen from iron ore in its solid state. This technology encompasses various processes based on different feedstocks, reactors, and reducing agents. DRI processes can reduce CO 2 emissions by using natural gas instead of coal due to the replacement of carbon reductant by hydrogen from the methane.
