Direct Reduced Iron Industry in India — Problems and Prospects Ramachandra Rao Consultant (Mineral Processing, Iron Steel Technology and Engineering) Abstract India is the largest producer of Direct Reduced Iron in the world with annual capacity of nearly 10 Mt comprising coal and gas based DRI plants. India has the largest coal based DRI

The above parameters for new steelmaking technologies—scrapbased EAFs, coalbased DRI with and without CCUS, gasbased DRI with and without CCUS, hydrogenbased DRI, and oxygenrich smelting reduction with and without CCUS—were obtained from recent studies and communication with Chinese experts (Battle et al., 2014; IEA, 2020a; IRENA ...

DRI is produced predominantly by gas based processes around the world in vertical shaft furnaces utilizing natural gas. DRI is also used in some countries by rotary kiln process or by rotary hearth process with the use of thermal coal.

well over half of the global DRI. From, worldwide DRI output increased by Mt, or nearly 49%, primarily driven by the increase in coalbased DRI in India, the high capacity utilization of existing and new gasbased plants in , and the ramp up of new capacity, such as Tosyali Holding's MIDREX® Plant in Algeria.

Coal based DRI plants are flexible with respect to plant location since noncoking coal is widely distributed in large deposits and is easy to transport. Most plants employ reduction process which is carried out in rotary kilns. These plants use wide variety of raw materials and noncoking coal.

gasbased fluidized bed processes (the Finmet / Finored process being the only commercial scale one in operation) accounting for % of 2019 DRI production; coal based rotary kiln furnaces (mainly in India) accounting for 24% of 2019 production. Generic illustrations of the types of process are shown in the graphics below.

Currently, DRI is mainly produced using natural gas (approximately 76%), while the rest is made from coalbased rotary kilns (MIDREX, 2020; DRI production, 2022). Access to lowcost renewable hydrogen will allow many countries to produce steel using the hydrogenbased DRI (H 2 DRI), which is anticipated to be about 15% by 2050 ( Iron and Steel ...

For instance, energy efficiency of rotary kilns in coalbased DRI units is hardly 3755% due to nonutilization of waste heat, therefore waste heat recovery systems should be made mandatory for coalbased DRI units. Similarly, induction furnaces in India should be restricted to prevent excess of poor quality steel or at the very least be ...

At present, fossil fuels are the steel sector's bloodstream: 27 EJ (10 18 J) of coal, 3 EJ of gas and 5 EJ (1400 TWh) of electricity are consumed annually for the production of the mostly widely ...

Coal plays a dual role in the Kiln. Part of coal is used as fuel to supply the desired heat so as to take the raw materials to the desired temp. But main role of coal is to supply carbon in the reduction process. Dolomite is used as sulphur scavenger which finally comes out with the char. Char contains ash of coal and other impurities of iron ore.

The Coal based DRI processes can be sustained over time if proper holistic strategies are deployed to monitor and control the network of activities. This would minimize the overall cost of the production process and negative impact on the environment. The 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) for sustainability would certainly be achievable if an ...

ArcelorMittal's plans for more coalbased steelmaking in India contrasts markedly with its developments in Europe and Canada, where the company is planning a transition away from blast furnaces to direct reduced iron (DRI)based steelmaking using green hydrogen under its 'Innovative DRI' decarbonisation pathway. In October 2022 ...

Of total DRI the production in 2008, 74 percent was produced from coal and 26 percent from natural gas. India is now the world's largest producer of DRI. Currently, there are two primary means of DRI production in India: smallscale rotary kilns using coal and iron ore lump, and largelocal scale shaft furnace plants using

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is the product of the direct reduction of iron ore in the solid state by carbon monoxide and hydrogen derived from natural gas or coal. See more information about the production of DRI . Most gasbased direct reduction plants are part of integrated steel minimills, located adjacent to the electric arc furnace (EAF ...

efficiency. Both coal and gasbased DRI plants are operational in India. However, the share of coalbased DRI production is quite substantial and in comparison to gasbased production, this route is energy and carbonintensive. To meet the DRI production target of 80 million tonne by 203031 as envisaged under the

In coalbased DRI plants rotary kiln is used for the reduction of iron ore. Accretion rings formations inside the kiln adversely affect the performance of plant in terms of low production and inferior quality, which frequently lead to shut down. About 70% of the coalbased DRI rotatory kiln shut down is due to the accretion formation [ 1 ].

Another way to make primary steel is through what is termed Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), when iron ore is mixed with a fuel and a reductant to reduce the oxygen content. ... Worldwide, natural gas is the fuel typically used while in India 82% of DRI is produced in coalbased rotary kilns with the remainder being produced via gasbased routes ...

To avoid locking in further coalbased steelmaking capacity for decades, some technology switching to DRIelectric arc furnace (EAF) processes will be required before 2030 to achieve net zero by 2050. Agora Industry has already tracked 59Mt of new DRI capacity announcements since 2019, requiring about 80Mtpa of iron ore if all proceed.

Coal based DRI making process. Iron Ore and noncoking coal are the prime raw materials for the production of sponge iron. These are charged into a rotary kiln in requisite proportion along with some dolomite which acts as a desulphurized. Coal plays a dual role in the process by acting as a reductant as well as a fuel for providing heat to ...
