reductions for the iron and steel industry are taken into account Even the calorific value of the direct reduction export gas is higher than blast furnace top gas and similar to the Corex export gas it can be utilized efficiently for various purposes COREX/DR COMBINATION DRIVING FACTORS DRI production 850 [kg/t HM] Fuel dry 530 [kg/t Iron
The result is Sponge Iron as pellets that are initially stuck together but are later magnetically separated Each sponge iron is screened based on size and then prepared for dispatch Sponge Iron Where Is It Used Sponge Iron plant manufacturers in India use sponge iron as a substitute for scrap in induction and electrical furnaces
The development and introduction of new technology typically follows the following path Concept / laboratory stage pilot / development stage commercial / growth
COREX process for pig iron production is a commercially proven process and is currently considered as the main competent to blast furnace for pig iron production COREX process consists of two
The processes employing coal known as solid reluctant of coal based processes Those employing reducing gases known as gas based processes Sponge Iron produced by gas based process is normally hot briquette and hence also known as Briquetted Iron HBI In the decade 1990 2000 the total sponge iron production was as follows
The production practice of COREX 3000 shows that COREX is a new type of ironmaking production method that has become mature in recent years While achieving good environmental and social benefits

HIsmelt [] The process HIsmelt is also termed as high intensity smelting In the process liquid iron is produced straight from the iron ore The process Fig 3 treats iron ore fines with minimum of pre treatment providing a flexibility to quality of iron it can ore fines and non coking coal with significant impurities could be fed to the process
The COREX smelting reduction iron making technology has been known as an advanced technology of metallurgical industry presently due to its use of non coke process can shorten the production route; greatly lighten environment pollution;get good quality hot metal comparable with the BF and use the offgas for production of sponge iron or generation
COREX process for pig iron production is a commercially proven process and is currently considered as the main competent to blast furnace for pig iron production COREX process consists of two
The document discusses the inputs and process for manufacturing sponge iron in a rotary kiln It describes the chemical and physical composition of iron ore coal and dolomite that are fed into the kiln It then outlines the rotary kiln process which involves preheating and combustion zones use of primary and secondary air coal injection
Sponge iron production process DRI unit In the DRI plant sponge iron is produced by using the solid reductant iron ore with carbonate materials such as coil After the reduction is carried out in a rotary kiln in which it is rotated at specific speed at the temperature of 800° to 1500° C
The production of iron using hydrogen as a reducing agent is an alternative to conventional iron and steel making processes with an associated decrease in CO 2 emissions
Market share about 60% of the total production of sponge iron; 2 HYL process 4th generation or Energiron DRI spongeiron energiron process The HYL process has undergone quite a number of changes over the past years in terms of its basic design process The first and second generations of the process are based on direct reduction and the
The Iron Age began when the humans probably by chance discovered iron sponge when they were heating iron ores that were easily reduced furnace is the most important option to produce the pig iron raw material for the production of steel although the Corex process is the single alternative and for that reason this chapter is
The COREX technology is a cost efficient environmentally friendly and industrially accomplished alternative to the blast furnace route for the production of hot metal from iron ore and coal By fulfilling more stringent ecological regulations by law utilization of low cost highly available low grade raw materials including fines the COREX process has been
Direct Reduced Iron and its Production Processes satyendra; March 16 2013 a vertical shaft kiln is used in which iron ore is fed into the top of the kiln and finished sponge iron is drawn off from the bottom after cooling it so as to prevent its re oxidation a syngas from coal coke oven gas or exhaust gas from the Corex process as
