Over 9.7 Mt of HDRI
However, these studies are mostly involved in RHF for rolling steel heating process [17]. A few CFD models of direct reduction process are developed for the pilot-scale RHF [18]. Another research aspect is the removal behaviour of heavy and alkali metal elements such as Zn, Pb, K and Na from dust-made composite pellets by direct reduction.
The Midrex®direct reduction process is the industry's most productive technology for making high-quality direct reduced iron (DRI) products, accounting for approximately 60% of the world's total annual production.

The shaft furnace based H 2-intensive direct reduction process has the potential to realize "carbon neutrality" and can significantly reduce the CO 2 emission, compared to the traditional blast furnace process.To date, no commercial-scale shaft furnace using H 2 has been established, due to the lack of corresponding understanding. …
The total GHG emissions from the rotary kiln process are 1763 kg CO 2 /t-DRI with ∼84% being direct emissions from the kiln, while the rest are from the After Burning Chamber (ABC) unit. Captive electricity generated in the rotary kiln DRI process exceeds the electricity requirement, allowing for surplus electricity to be exported to the …
1. Introduction. Rotary hearth furnace (RHF) was originally used for rolling steel heating, and at present has been developed as one of the most effective technologies for treating metallurgical dusts by direct reduction process [1], [2], [3].This process can not only produce metalized pellets for iron recovery, but also utilize heavy and alkali …
Due to process kinetics and the overall economics of direct reduction, very few DRI particles actually approach metallization; metallizations in the best plants in 2012 were around 96%. In addition, as discussed above, there is carbon pickup as well, with the final product containing between 0.5% and 4% carbon.
Ironmaking in the rotary hearth furnace (RHF) is a direct reduction process which utilizes non-coking coal for the reduction of iron ore. The RHF is the process reactor which consists of a flat, refractory hearth rotating inside a stationary, circular tunnel kiln. Inside the RHF, direct reduction of iron ore or iron-bearing waste …
The process principles are the basis for numerous rotary kiln plants and still represent the dominant technology for the direct reduction of lump ore or pellets using coal. Operates with the widest range of iron-bearing materials, such as pellets, lump ore, beach sand, ilmenite and also iron ore fines with SL/RN-Xtra.
Rotary kiln coal-based DR plants, based on single module, are designed for up to a maximum of 0.250 M tonnes per year (million tpy) of DRI, requiring high capital cost for ... 3 HYL Direct Reduction Process HYL is a process designed for the direct reduction of iron ores by use of reducing H2 and CO gases. As presented in Figure 1 above, there ...

Abstract. Rotary hearth furnace (RHF) direct reduction technology is a technically promising coal-based direct reduction process. With this process, direct reduction iron can be produced by all ...
Coal-Based Direct Reduction Ironmaking. Non-coking coal or carbon-bearing material is used as reductant and heating source, and the iron ore in solid phase is reduced into iron metal in various reactors. The industrialized process is rotary kiln process. There are also fixed bed process, shaft furnace process, and rotary hearth furnace process.
The MIDREX® Process is unsurpassed in the Direct Reduction industry in terms of production and process flexibility to meet the constantly evolving nature of steelmakers and ore-based metallics providers. Adjustable product quality and the flexibility to produce various forms of iron together with some of the best production records …

The HYL process was developed in Mexico and was the forerunner of the HYL III direct reduction technology. In HYL I process, a mixture of gases containing about 89% of reducing compounds is used. Each reduction module in HYL plant consists of four units - three "in line" and the fourth in "turn around" mode.
Fig 4 Flowsheet of Midrex process. Coal based process. In a coal based process, the reactor for the reduction reaction is a rotary kiln which is slightly inclined to the horizontal position. The process of direct reduction is carried out with the operating temperatures maintained in a range from 1,000 deg C to 1,100 deg C.
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is the product of the direct reduction of iron ore in the solid state by carbon monoxide and hydrogen derived from natural gas or coal. See more information about the production of DRI . Most gas-based direct reduction plants are part of integrated steel mini-mills, located adjacent to the electric arc furnace (EAF ...
This book comprehensively deals with the production of sponge iron in the rotary kiln. The book is divided into 17 chapters.
