Coal entering the bed is devolatilized and the remaining char forms the principal constituent of the fluidized bed, and the fuel for melting of the DRI. Process concepts based on the BF hearth Several process designs were proposed in which melting and gasification takes place in a coke bed, in much the same way as the final melting stage in ...
It has successfully replaced the syngas times,, 56,000 Nm ³ /h COG is replacing 66,000 Nm ³ /h syngas without affecting the DRI productivity. Subsequently, times costlier syngas ...
To avoid locking in further coalbased steelmaking capacity for decades, some technology switching to DRIelectric arc furnace (EAF) processes will be required before then. Potential new DRgrade iron ore capacity by 2030 ranges from 40 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) to an optimistic high of 100Mtpa. Unless technology innovations allow use of ...
Hot DRI charged into an EAF typically generates the most efficiency, compared with briquetting and heating cold charge. FerroSilva expects its process to require less than a tenth of the electricity per ton of iron compared with electrolysisbased green hydrogen plants, and can generate byproducts such as liquid biogenic CO2.
Important limitations among other coalbased DR processes are: size of single moduleplants available, restrictions on the use of high sulfur coals, undesirable amount of gangue and sulfur in the DRI product, unproven technologies and high operating costs. A summary of existing and emerging coalbased DR processes is included in Table 1. Table 1
In comparison to gasbased processes, the coalbased DRI production process is quite energy intensive and poses environmentrelated issues. Being a developing country with steel demand projected to reach between 500 and 760 million tonne (Mt) by 2050, the country needs to adopt energyefficient and environmentfriendly steel production ...
Nearly million tons of DRI were produced in 2006 over the world, some 80% of which were produced by gasbased processes, the left by DOI: / 98 | Page "A study on the accretion formation in DRI kilns and possible ways for its reduction" coalbased processes. However, total DRI output continued ...
From a technical perspective, the challenge of decarbonization involves two processes: chemical reduction for iron ore refining (process emission), commonly with metallurgical coal and coke, and from the high temperature heat sourced required to operate BF and other production reactors [ (Friedmann et al., 2019)].
presents the overall thermal energy distribution for the plant based on Highcarbon, hot DRI. This plant configuration has been successfully operated since 1998 with the HYL DR 4M plant and was also incorporated (in 2001) in the 3M5 plant, both at TerniumHylsa in Monterrey. Figure 2.

Coalbased reduction (DR) technologies using syngas are of recent origin. MIDREX, in association with Praxair, has developed a process called MXCOL, where coalbased synthetic gas can be used in the reduction shaft. ... A coalbased dual fuel DRI process (FASTMET) shows lower gross CO 2 emission ( t CO 2 /t DRI) compared to rotary kiln (RK ...
The DRI processes are categorized in two groups based on the use of reducing agent, natural gasbased direct reduction (DR) processes like MIDREX, HYL and Finmet, and coalbased DR processes like ...
By comparing the scheme based on SynGas with the conventional Energiron DR scheme, the similarity of reducing gases entering the DR reactor can be noted; hence, no technological risk is foreseen for this application. Based on the analysis of treated SynGas (typically from a conventional gasifier), expected DRI characteristics for coalSynGas ...
Kobe Steel has developed coalbased direct reduction (DR) technologies, the FASTMET, FASTMELT and ITmk3 processes, which reduce carbon composite agglomerates (pellets or briquettes) on the hearth of a rotary hearth furnace (RHF). This paper outlines the features of each process, status of technical development and commercialization.

Rio 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 100% hydrogenbased reduction. Many such projects expect to create hydrogen for DRI with electrolysis using renewable power from wind and solar projects.
Sponge iron means porous iron produced by direct reduction reduction (DR) process is a solidstate reaction process ( solidsolid or solidgas reaction) by which removable oxygen is removed from the iron ore, using coal or reformed natural gas as reductants, below the melting and fusion point of the lump ore or agglomerates of fine ore [].
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 ...
In 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 ...
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
Merchant DRgrade iron ore pellet demand may increase to 53 million mt in 2025 from about 38 million mt in 2020, and rise to 81 million mt in 2030, according to IIMA estimates. Around million mt of estimated marketbased DR pellet demand in 2030 is expected to come from new DR plants, mainly in Europe and the MENA region, at which time ...
Among the various DR processes, the MIDREX process dominates the market accounting for % of the total DRI production in 2019, followed by % from the coalbased rotary kiln process and % from the ENERGIRON process (MIDREX, 2019). As the gasbased DR processes are producing about 76% of the world's DRI, and MIDREX and ENERGIRON ...
Both processes are very energy intensive through the direct burning of fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, or indirectly through the use of electricity. Global steel production is heavily dependent upon the use of coal via the BFBOF process. In 2013, over 70% of total global steel production relied directly upon coal.
The carbon footprint of H 2based DRI in France is comparably low due to a high share of nuclear energy in the national grid mix. The carbon footprint of NGbased DRI is kg CO 2 eq/kg DRI. In countries with moderatetohigh carbon intensity in electricity production, it is better to use natural gas directly in the DR plant than using hydrogen.
