Direct-reduced iron and its more transportable sister hot-briquetted iron have dallied in the wings of mainstream steelmaking as high-quality and low-residual furnace inputs for nearly 60 years. Suddenly the two have swept center stage for holding the key to steel decarbonization. Combined with hydrogen instead of traditional natural gas …
Direct-reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets or fines) by a reducing gas produced from natural gas or coal. The reducing gas is a mixture majority of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) which acts as reducing agent. This process of directly reducing the iron ...
Direct reduction processes may be classified, according to the type of the reducing agent used, to gas-based and coal-based processes. In 2000, DRI produced from the gas-based processes accounted for 93%, while the coal-based processes produced 7%. Gas-based processes have shaft furnaces for reducing.
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is a high-quality metallic product (~90% pure iron) produced by the direct reduction of iron oxide at a temperature below the fusion point of iron. It is primarily used in electric arc furnaces (EAF) but can also be used by blast furnaces and other iron and steelmaking applications.

To reach a reduction degree of the hot DRI product of 95%, 1.4 t of iron oxide input material containing input materials per ton of DRI are required for the DR-NG as well as the DR-H 2 process. Based on NG which contains approximately 95% methane, the simulation results in an NG demand of approximately 259 m 3 STP t −1 DRI for the reference case.
Hydrogen-based direct reducing iron production (H-DRI) possesses great potential for energy saving and emission reduction of greenhouse gas in metallurgical industries. Although the relevant research has been studied since long, the thermodynamics and process of reduction by pure H2 in a broad temperature range are not well …
About 7% of global iron is produced as direct reduced iron (DRI) (also known as sponge iron) in a direct reduction furnace (DRF), an alternative to the BF route in which iron is reduced in the solid state by reacting lumps or pelletized iron ore concentrate with a mixture of H 2 and CO at temperatures of 800–1050 °C .
Combined with a direct reduction plant, 's Outotec ® DRI Smelting Furnace substitutes traditional blast furnaces in the production of hot metal, making it an optimal solution for primary steel producers aiming for a significant reduction in their CO 2 emissions with minimal changes to the rest of the steel plant.
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is a premium ore-based metallic (OBM) raw material made by removing chemically-bound oxygen from iron oxide pellets and lump ores without melting. Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is high in iron content and low in copper and other undesirable metals – tramp elements – and nitrogen content. It is used to make a …
Properties of DRI. Because the direct reduction of iron is a solid-state process, the product DRI has roughly the same size and shape as the starting particles, whether roughly spherical pellets or irregularly shaped lumps. Due to process kinetics and the overall economics of direct reduction, very few DRI particles actually approach …
Direct reduction of iron is the removal of oxygen from iron ore or other iron bearing materials in the solid state, i.e. without melting, as in the blast furnace. The reducing …
In the direct-reduced iron (DRI) process, the iron ores are reduced directly to sponge iron by gaseous reducing agents! Electro-steel process. In the electric steel process, the sponge iron obtained from the direct reduced iron process is used for crude …
In the direct reduction process, the reducing agent converts the iron ore to elemental iron directly. The final product is directly reduced iron (DRI) including matrix elements from the ore. Typical feed gases for direct reduction are either hydrogen or natural gas with methane (CH 4) as the main constituent.
Regardless of the steelmaking route, there is a form of direct reduced iron (DRI) for every application. DRI is a premium ore-based metallic (OBM) raw material made by removing chemically-bound …
Results show that renewable H2 use in integrated DRI steel mills for both heating and the reduction of iron ore can reduce direct CO2 emissions by as much as 85%, but would require an H2 ...
