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
Switching from blast furnaces that consume coal to green hydrogenbased direct reduced iron (DRI) processes is widely considered a key step in the global steel sector's decarbonisation pathway. ... the dominant global process. DRgrade iron ore ideally has an iron (Fe) content of 67% or more and such deposits are scarce only a small ...
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.
ULCORED is a direct reduction (DR) process, which produces DRI (direct reduced iron) in a shaft furnace, either from natural gas (NG) or from reducing gas obtained by gasification of coal. Offgas from the shaft is recycled into the process after carbon dioxide (CO2) has been captured, which leaves the DR plant in a concentrated stream and ...
collect metalized iron. In 1991 out of total coal based process the SL/RN process constitutes 56% of the total direct reduced iron. ACCAR Process: (Allis Chalmers controlled Atmosphere Reactor) This produces highly metalized direct reduced iron using rotary kiln. Here solid, liquid and gaseous fuels are used directly in the kiln.
Converting lowcarbon biomass and wastes, like crop waste, food waste, and algae, into highvalue fuels and products can serve as a lowcarbon equivalent to fossilbased gasoline, jet, and diesel fuel. What could be more ideal for reducing carbon intensity? Renewable resources and wastes from plant matter can be converted to biooils.
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 ...
Direct reduction processes may be classified, according to the type of the reducing agent used, to gasbased and coalbased processes. In 2000, DRI produced from the gasbased processes accounted for 93%, while the coalbased processes produced 7%. Gasbased processes have shaft furnaces for reducing.
The DR process may be adapted for coalbased processing, which will contribute to the stable supply of direct reduced iron (DRI). This paper outlines the DR technologies developed by Kobe Steel and includes a survey on the contribution of DRI as a substitute for scrap used in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) and as a burden material in BFs.
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 [].

The consumption of DR pellets necessary for gasbased DRI production can be estimated to 117 Mt, when assuming an Fe content of % in the DR pellets and % in the DRI. Since little gasbased DRI production takes place in China, it can be stated that the BFpellet consumption outside China is 244 Mt or slightly more than twice the DR ...
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.
Direct reduced iron ( DRI ), also called sponge iron, [1] is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) into iron by a reducing gas or elemental carbon produced from natural gas or coal. Many ores are suitable for direct reduction.
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.
DR process configuration, from the total Carbon input to the DR plant, only 1025% (depending on the Carbon content in the DRI) exits the process as combined Carbon in the DRI. By the principle of mass conservation, the balance must leave the process, which for the DR process, is in the gaseous form as CO 2.
The main raw materials for the production of DRI by the rotary kiln process are (i) sized graded iron ore or iron ore pellets, (ii) noncoking coal, and (iii) dolomite in small quantities to scavenge the sulphur. Iron ore of the right quality is the basic input for the coal based direct reduction process.

In India, steel produced through DRI is about 3 t CO 2 /t of steel, due to its large reliance on coal (82%) as an input into DRI production, with the remainder of DRI using natural gas (18%) [25, 33, 34]. Natural gasbased Midrex direct reduction process along with EAF has one of the lowest carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions of steel production ...
Direct reduced iron (DRI) process. In addition to the process route via the blast furnace process, there is another option for extracting crude steel from iron ores using the socalled direct reduced iron (DRI) process (secondary route). The starting point for the efforts to find an alternative to the blast furnace process was the relatively ...

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.
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. The reducing agents are carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), coming from reformed natural gas, syngas or coal. Iron ore is used mostly in pellet and/or lumpy form.
Abstract. Production of direct reduced iron from indigenous raw materials is an attractive alternative to the use of scrap for electric steelmaking or for a DRbased integrated steel plant. The SL/RN process is a proven coalbased direct reduction technology, its versatility being characterised by flexibility in the use of raw materials (lump ...

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 ...

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)].
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.
