Among the various DR processes, the MIDREX process dominates the market accounting for % of the total DRI production in 2019, followed by % from the coalbased rotary kiln process and % from the ENERGIRON process (MIDREX, 2019). As the gasbased DR processes are producing about 76% of the world's DRI, and MIDREX and ENERGIRON ...
DRI has been fast gaining ground throughout the world since the 1980s mainly because of the shortage of coking coal for BF and steel scrap in steelmaking. DRI is produced by the DR of iron ore by ...
2. Overview of DR processes. Direct reduction processes reduce iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets or fines) to the solid state using a reducing. gas to produce Direct Reduced Iron (also known ...
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.
gasbased fluidized bed processes (the Finmet / Finored process being the only commercial scale one in operation) accounting for % of 2019 DRI production; coal based rotary kiln furnaces (mainly in India) accounting for 24% of 2019 production. Generic illustrations of the types of process are shown in the graphics below.

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.
Rio Tinto and other steel and mining groups have highlighted the need to adapt processes for DRI plants which have traditionally run on reformed natural gas as new plants are developed for hydrogenbased reduction. Many such projects expect to create hydrogen for DRI with electrolysis using renewable power from wind and solar projects.

This plant configuration has been successfully operated since 1998 with the HYL DR 4M plant and was also incorporated (in 2001) in the 3M5 plant, both at TerniumHylsa in Monterrey. Figure 2.

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 ...
From 2016, worldwide DRI output has grown by almost Mt, or nearly 64%, primarily driven by the increase in coalbased DRI in India, new gasbased plants in , and rampup of new gasbased capacity in Algeria, Egypt, USA, and Russia.

Natural gasbased DRIEAF (± tCO 2 /tSteel) reduces emissions by ±42% compared to BFBOF (± tCO 2 /tSteel) [11]. While that is a reduction in emissions compared to the worst performing process (coalbased steal making), driving the emissions down to zero will depend on the use of hydrogen produced only with renewable electricity.
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 ...

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.
The work proposes a perspective on the direct reduction of iron (DRI) using hydrogen. Typically, iron is produced in blast furnaces (BFI) by the reduction of iron ore with carbonrich materials such as coal or coke. Greenhouse emissions may be drastically reduced by introducing DRI coal/oilbased, and further reduced by using methanebased DRI.
DRI can be produced in powder, pellet, lump, or briquette form. The powder, pellets, and lumps retain the shape of the iron oxide material fed into the DR process. The removal of oxygen leaves voids, giving the DRI a spongy appearance when viewed through a microscope.
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 reduced iron (DRI) is the alternative iron source for steelmaking. Its advantages as a iron product and diluent for impurities, introduced with scrap, are well documented. DRI is also known as sponge iron. It refers to porous iron produced by the direct reduction (DR) process.
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.
In Fig. 1, we show the design of the hydrogen direct reduction (HDR) process on which the developed chemical process model presented later on in this chapter is based. Iron ore is preheated and fed into a reduction shaft, where it is converted to direct reduced iron (DRI) and further compacted to hot briquetted iron (HBI).
Direct reduced iron (DRI) is one of the major input materials for the production of steel through electric furnace route. DRI is produced predominantly by gas based processes around the world in vertical shaft furnaces utilizing natural gas.
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.
DRI is produced through the removal (reduction) of oxygen from iron ore in its solid state. This technology encompasses various processes based on different feedstocks, reactors, and reducing agents. DRI processes can reduce CO 2 emissions by using natural gas instead of coal due to the replacement of carbon reductant by hydrogen from the methane.
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.
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.
The DRI processes are categorized in two groups based on the use of reducing agent, natural gasbased direct reduction (DR) processes like MIDREX, HYL and Finmet, and coalbased DR processes like ...

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.
