Direct reduction processes can be divided roughly into two categories: gas-based, and coal-based. In both cases, the objective of the process is to drive off the oxygen contained in various forms of iron ore (sized ore, concentrates, pellets, mill scale, furnace dust, etc.), in order to convert the ore to metallic iron, without melting it (below 1,200 °C (2,190 °F)). The direct reduction process is comparatively energy efficient. Steelmade using DRI requires significant
Read MoreThe iron-ore fines that enter the BF need to go through a pelletizing and sintering process. In other cases, such as the smelting reduction (SR) processes that use the fluidized bed technologies the iron-ore fines can directly be charged into the reduction process making it highly advantageous.

Read MoreThe reduction gases only dissolve oxygen from the iron ores. This causes the iron ores to crack on the surface. The appearance resembles a porous sponge, which is why the deoxidized and thus strongly ferrous iron ore is also called sponge iron. Sponge iron is a highly ferrous ore from the direct reduced iron process!

Roasting is the process of heating iron ore strongly in dry air for drying the ore and expelling humidity, It is used to increase the percentage of iron in the ore and for the oxidation of some impurities such as sulphur and phosphorus.. Roasting of iron is very important in the ore dressing process but this process pollutes the environment, Ore ...
