Noncoking coal resources are very rich in China; research and development of coalbased direct reduction process (such as FASTMET and ITMK3 process) has important practical significance, and it can strengthen the comprehensive utilization on lowgrade iron ore, associated mineral resources, and iron and steel plant dust and sludge.
This product is known as direct reduced iron (DRI) or sponge iron. Processes that produce iron by reduction of iron ore (in solid state) below the melting point are generally classified as DR ...
A thick slag layer is situated above the metal bath. Iron ore fines, coal and fluxes are injected directly into the melt in the smelt reduction vessel. The process uses iron ore fines directly with noncoking coal (5070% fixed carbon, 1038% volatile matter and 512% ash; less than 10% ash is preferred).

these, the ore is heated rapidly in an oxidizing atmos phere to eliminate sulfur pickup, minimize sticking, and ensure easy temperature control of the reduction. Some direct reduction processes using gaseous fuels employ shafttype reduction furnaces and reformed natural gas or coal gas. On the other hand, some processes are based on the ...
Direct reduced iron (DRI) is the product which is produced by the direct reduction of iron ore or other iron bearing materials in the solid state by using noncoking coal or natural gas. Processes which produce DRI by reduction of iron ore below the melting point of the iron are normally known as the direct reduction (DR) processes.
In a typical direct reduction process, coal and natural gas are used as alternative fuels to replace metallurgical coke. However, there is no fundamental improvement in the environmental pollution control for the direct reduction technology, especially concerning the carbon emissions, compared to the traditional ironmaking technology [1], [2], [3].
The coal based direct reduction rotary kiln process was developed for converting iron ore directly into metallic iron without the melting of the materials. The process has the advantage of low capital expenditure and no requirement of coking coal.
Coal exporters could also lose income, as we're the largest exporter of the coking coal burnt in furnaces using current technology. ... But in the direct reduction process, the iron ore doesn ...
Recent Achievements in Conventional Coal Gasification Processes. Stroud(General Rapporteur), in Oils and Gases from Coal, 1980 Reducing Gases. There are three ways in which gases can be used in ironmaking. They can be injected into the tuyeres and boshes of blast furnaces to obviate the use of oil or natural gas or used for direct ore reduction.
Background In a DR process, iron ore pellets and/or lump iron ores are reduced by a reducing gas to produce DRI or hot briquetted iron (HBI). Depending on the generation of the reducing gas, two different DR processes are commercially available: gasbased and coal/oilbased.
Iron ore direct reduction is an attractive alternative steelmaking process in the context of greenhouse gas mitigation.

The RHF process was originally developed as an alternative to gasbased direct reduction, making DRI from iron ore and coal. The process started from the patent of D. Beggs applied by MidlandRoss Corporation in 1965 [144]. This process was known as Heat Fast [145].
agglomerate fine iron ore dust in conjunction with other material (typically limestone) to form a product that can be added to the blast furnace.
