Sponge Iron Plant—WHR in Rotary Kiln Directly Reduced Iron (DRI) Production. Here, directly reduced iron (DRI) is produced in a rotary kiln of 36 m diameter and approximately 85 m length installed at an incline. The capacity of the kiln depends on metallization degree and usually does not exceed 225,000300,000 t/year (Fig. 2). It ...
The employed fuels are natural gas and/or coal. The energy consumption is in the order of GJ/tDRI that is equivalent to 300 m 3 of natural gas per ton of reduced iron. The CO 2 emissions are quantified in the range t of CO 2 per ton of steel. As a function of the employed reducing reactors, the systems are of four main types:
Coalbased sponge iron/DRI also has limitations in use due to its high sulphur and phosphorus content, and low carbon and metallization. ... The conversion of iron ore fines (size: −1 to + mm) to iron carbide takes place in a circulating fluid bed reactor, where the preheated ore reacts with the reducing constituents of the natural gas ...
A new route for making steel from iron ore based on the use of hydrogen to reduce iron oxides is presented, detailed and analyzed. The main advantage of this steelmaking route is the dramatic reduction (90% off) in CO2 emissions compared to those of the current standard blastfurnace route. The first process of the route is the production of hydrogen by water electrolysis using CO2lean ...
High metallization cuts coal usage. DRI and HBI are usually made from highgrade iron ore pellets typically reduced by gas to provide a highlymetallized raw material for both electric arc furnaces and traditional blast furnaces. According to USbased DRI technologist Midrex Technologies, HBI, which is metallized beyond 90%, needs only to be ...
Sponge iron production process. DRI unit; ... and it is taken into the rotary cooler in which the product get cools down and is separated from the coal char. Some of the basic reactions that may be included in the process are ... After CO reacts with the oxygen it is converted into O2 and it automatically generates heat.
Abstract A survey is made on a typical coal based Indian sponge iron plant of capacity 500 t/d in order to identify the largest energy losses Nomenclature hr heat transfer coefficient from outer surface of rotary kiln to outside atmosphere, kJ/h m 2 D diameter, m L length, m m mass flow rate, kg/h T temperature, °C Q heat load, kJ/h Cp
Direct reduced iron is iron ore in the form of lumps, fines or pellets that have had the oxygen removed by using hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Typical sources of carbon monoxide are natural gas, coal gas, and coal. Other energy inputs into the production process often include oil and electricity. Since much of the energy used is in the form of ...
Figure Thermal energy consumption across sample sponge iron plants. Figure shows the steel production across different plants. The steel production ranges from 30,000 tons to Mt. This may be due to the export of SI and scrap utilization in the steel melting shops (SMS). Sign in to download fullsize image Figure
ArcelorMittal's new Gijón plant is planned to have a milliontonne hybrid electric arc furnace and a milliontonne DRI unit. The sponge iron produced there will be used at the company's sister plant in Sestao, 250 km away, which in turn is set to make Sestao the world's first fullscale zeroemission steel plant.
Sponge iron units of the country are facing an acute coal shortage, said an industry official. "Of the 450 direct reduced iron (DRI) units that produce sponge iron in the country, 105 are ...
There are different types of raw materials used for sponge iron making and steel products Like Coal, Iron Ore, and Dolomite Iron ore and decoking coal are the main raw materials to produce sponge iron. They are charged into the rotary kiln in the required proportion together with some dolomite used as a desulfurizing agent.
2 X 350 TPD Kiln and 2 X 100 TPD Kiln for sponge iron production. Total Heat Energy as available from the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Gas of 2 X 350 TPD Kiln and 2 X 100 TPD Kiln, on conversion to Electrical Energy, produces about 25 MW of Electrical Power respectively. Harnessing this Power by
The HYBRIT pilot plant in Luleå, Sweden has completed test production of sponge iron and demonstrates that it is possible to use fossilfree hydrogen gas to reduce iron ore instead of using coal and coke to remove the oxygen. Production has been continuous and of good quality. Around 100 tonnes have been made so far.
DRI was used to observe the effect of different fractional reduction on the removal of impurities from pig iron melt during EAF melting. On the basis of results, three types of reduced flux DRI ...
Renewable biomass is a potent, CO2 neutral substitute to fossil coal and coke in iron making. However, there has been relatively little work on the utilization of biomass for the production of directly reduced iron (DRI). The aim of the present work is to characterize Acacia nilotica (W1), Albizia lebbeck (W2), and Leucaena leucocephala (W3) biomass and to reduce iron ore pellets primarily ...
The various advantages of iron ore pellets are given below. Iron ore pellet is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better tumbling index when compared with the iron ore and it can be used as a substitute for the iron ore lumps both in the BF and for DRI production. Pellets have good reducibility since they have high porosity (25 % to 30 %).
The pilot plant has a size of 100 cubic meters. At a later stage, a fullscale hydrogen gas storage facility measuring 100,000 to 120,000 cubic meters may be required, in which case it will be able to store up to 100 GWh of electricity converted to hydrogen gas, which is sufficient to supply a fullsized sponge iron factory for three to four days.
Sponge iron produced using the non coking coal is called coal based sponge iron / DRI. For producing the sponge iron through this process requires high grade of iron ore and non coking coal. ... In this process route, iron oxides are converted to the DRI / HBI by using natural gas in a vertical shaft furnace. For steel producers, it is a ...
