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 gasbased direct reduction plants are part of integrated steel minimills, located adjacent to the electric arc furnace (EAF ...
Because this process does not use natural gas, a lowercarbon content product (around %) is expected. Similar to the gasbased HYL process, in the coalbased process, the furnace top gas is cooled and cleaned, and its CO 2 is removed and then recycled into a reducing gas circuit. Reducing gas is produced in a coal gasifier that can process ...
Process. Direct reduction processes can be divided roughly into two categories: gasbased, and coalbased. In both cases, the objective of the process is to remove 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)).
In coalbased DRI process, accretion formation inside the rotary kiln is a genuine complex problem. Accretion formation in a rotary kiln of 100 tpd DRI plant has been investigated. The nature of accretion formation with respect to the charge burden and operational parameter have been discussed. High ash content in the coal and excess use of dolomite lead to accretion formation. Two different ...
Based on production process, the direct reduced iron (DRI) market is bifurcated into coal based and gas based. The gas based segment held a larger market share of the global direct reduced iron ...
coalbased DRI. Out of the global DRI production of million tonnes in 2008, the production of coalbased DRI occupies million tonnes, which equates to % of the total1). Most coalbased reduction processes including SL/RN2) employ rotary kilns. Pellets, or lumpore, mixed with coal are/is charged into the rotary kilns2) and heated
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 ...
DRI: This iron production process directly reduces iron ore in solidstate with the reaction temperature below the melting point of iron. Reducing gases are produced from natural gas (gasbased DRI) or coal (coalbased DRI) called syngas, a mixture of H 2 and CO. Although DRI production is more energy efficient than pig iron production from BF ...
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 ...
The application of hydrogen metallurgy in DRI process mainly focuses on the gasbased DRI process, which accounts for more than 90% of the total annual output of DRI at present. ... increasing productivity by 5075% and carrying out final reduction, melting and phase separations in a coalbased smelter. The problem of the high energy ...
To avoid locking in further coalbased steelmaking capacity for decades, some technology switching to DRIelectric arc furnace (EAF) processes will be required before 2030 to achieve net zero by 2050. Agora Industry has already tracked 59Mt of new DRI capacity announcements since 2019, requiring about 80Mtpa of iron ore if all proceed.
The sponge iron is produced via the direct reduction iron process (DRI) (National Iranian Steel Company (NISC), 2021). Direct reduction methods are categorized as coalbased or gasbased, depending on the availability and use of resources. Iran produces sponge iron via the direct gasbased reduction method due to its abundant gas resources.
TERI proposes to undertake the following activities in collaboration with SIMA (Sponge Iron Manufacturers Association ) in the coalbased DRI production process: Detailed mapping of DRI production units and shortlisting 23 prominent coalbased DRI manufacturing clusters representing domestic production ranges, existing and proposed capacity, operating practices etc. Explore possibilities ...
What is hydrogenbased reduction? Direct reduction of iron is the chemical removal (reduction) of oxygen from iron ore in its solid form. The iron used in the steelmaking process is currently chemically reduced from iron ore through the use of fossil resources natural gas or coal. This process is known as Direct Reduced Ironmaking (DRI).
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
Abstract In coalbased DRI process, accretion formation inside the rotary kiln is a genuine complex problem. Accretion formation in a rotary kiln of 100 tpd DRI plant has been investigated.
Going by the energy efficiency and GHG emission, gas based DRIEAF route is considered the best with minimum energy consumption and GH emission, while the coal based DRIEAF/IF route is considered most energy intensive with highest GHG emission. However, production of gas based DRI has been diminishing over the years for
Today, the majority of DRI (79%) is produced by gasbased processes: the Midrex process, which is the market leader, and the HYL/Energiron process, while another 21% can be attributed to coalbased processes (Midrex Technologies, 2017a). The Energiron process is the successor of the HYL processes I to IV, which are not marketed any longer.

This is a coalbased reduction technology, applicable to both steel mill waste and iron ore fines, with coal as a Creductant agent. The reduced iron can be fed to a BF or directly into a melting process. If exposed to air for a long time, the metallic iron reoxidizes into iron oxide, deteriorating its quality.
Switching from coal to NG as the feedstock leads to a 58% reduction in the GHG emissions of the coalbased DRI process plants (including electricity use). On a life cycle basis, GHG emissions from the NG reformer DRI process are lower than for the coalbased rotary kiln and gasifier DRI processes by 33% and 41%, respectively, when uniformly ...
