reduced iron ore undergoes final reduction using a coal-based en-ergy to obtain hot metal. The following are the advantages of the two-stage reduction sys-tem: (1) In the pre-reduction process, a high degree of ore reduction near the end point of the reaction is saced for the sake of a …

oxygen (O) (reduction) in the iron ore as carbon is more reactive than iron (Fe). In nature, iron exists as oxides, iron ore. To produce steel products, oxygen must be removed (= reduced) from iron ore. The use of carbon (coal) is the best, stable, cost-effective method for reducing iron ore in large quantities. The reaction, however, emits CO2.

The gas will reduce iron ore into what's known as "sponge iron," which will be further refined in an electric arc furnace after being mixed with scrap metal. Recognizing that steel is one of the largest sources of embedded carbon in car manufacturing, signed a statement of intent with HYBRIT in July 2021.

steel, known as 'BOS steel', is made through the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process, creating around 70% of the world's steel. This uses mainly raw materials, combining iron ore and coke with around 30% recycled steel in a blast furnace, creating up to 350 tonnes of steel in just 15 minutes.

DRI is a proven technology to use H2-rich gas for steel making from iron ore, producing over a 100 million tons of iron and ultimately over 90 million tons of steel in 2018. The reducing gas used for DRI production is syngas, produced from either coal gasification or SMR.

The plant has a direct reduction shaft, where the reduction takes place, and several electrolyzers to produce hydrogen using fossil-free electricity. In the HYBRIT process, the fossil-free hydrogen is central. It is produced by electrolysis of water and is used in the direct reduction shaft to remove the oxygen from the iron ore pellets.

The steel industry represents about 7% of the world's anthropogenic CO 2 emissions due to the high use of fossil fuels. The CO 2-lean direct reduction of iron ore with hydrogen is considered to offer a high potential to reduce CO 2 emissions, and this direct reduction of Fe 2 O 3 powder is investigated in this research.

However modern methods are still based on the Bessemer process which was practised over 150 years ago. This was a way to introduce oxygen into molten iron in order to reduce the amount of carbon contained within. Modern-day steel production makes use of both traditional raw materials (iron) and recycled materials to turn them into steel.

The BOS method adds recycled scrap steel to the molten iron in a converter. At high temperatures, oxygen is blown through the metal, which reduces the carbon content to between 0-1.5%. The EAF method, however, feeds recycled steel scrap through high-power electric arcs (with temperatures of up to 1,650 degrees Celsius) to melt the metal and ...
