Synopsis: A mathematical model of the shaft furnace is developed for gaseous reduction of iron-ore pellet. In the model, the reduction of iron-oxide is defined as the multi-stage successive reaction and the reduction rate equations are derived from the multi-interface core model in a single pellet. This model is applied to the simulation for the changes of reduction degree in an …
The reduction of the iron ore pellets is described using a specific grain model, reflecting the transformations from hematite to iron. The shaft furnace is modeled as a set of interconnected one-dimensional zones into which the principal chemical reactions (3-step reduction, methane reforming, Boudouard and water gas shift) are accounted for ...
The pellets measured diameters in the range 1.14–1.72 cm and were characterized in terms of porosity, pores size, tortuosity and compression strength. The pellets were reduced in hydrogen atmosphere in a laboratory shaft furnace in the temperature ranges of 600–1200 °C at the pressures of 1 and 5 bar.
The Direct Reduction of Iron. Thomas Battle, ... James McClelland, in Treatise on Process Metallurgy: Industrial Processes, 2014. 1.2.2.2 Agglomeration of Iron Ore. The three major forms of iron used in ironmaking are pellets, lump, and sinter. The major change in the past 50 years has been the development of cost-effective pelletization technology allowing pellets to be a …
Background The pellet shaft furnace is widely used to roast pellets, which is essential for the blast furnace burden structure; however, the study on the roasting process in the pellet shaft ...
Steel production causes a third of all industrial CO2 emissions due to the use of carbon-based substances as reductants for iron ores, making it a key driver of global warming. Therefore, research efforts aim to replace these reductants with sustainably produced hydrogen. Hydrogen-based direct reduction (HyDR) is an attractive processing technology, given that …
In 2017, we completed a $75 million capital investment project at our United Taconite operation to produce a newly developed superflux iron ore pellet. A flux iron ore pellet has increased levels of mainly CaO (calcium oxide or limestone) in comparison to a standard pellet. In a steelmaking blast furnace, limestone is added to control the ...
The shaft furnace is where iron ore is converted to metallic. Iron oxide, in pellet or lump form, is introduced through a proportioning hopper at the top of the shaft furnace. As the iron ore descends through the furnace by gravity flow, it is heated, and the oxygen is removed from the iron ore (reduction) by counterflowing gases that have a ...
16.1. Introduction. Iron ore lump, sinter, and pellets comprise the main burden of modern blast furnaces. However, sinter and pellets are now the dominant blast furnace burden, because the natural lump supply has declined dramatically due to depletion of the world's high-grade competent iron ore resources.

Advantages of pellets. The various advantages of iron ore pellets are given below. Iron ore pellet is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better tumbling index when compared with the iron ore and it can be used as a substitute for the iron ore lumps both in the BF and for DRI production.
The shaft furnace operates using a counterflowing ore and reducing gas to produce a sponge iron product, requiring ore in pellet form with minimum 67% Fe content 21 to limit ore impurities and ...
Hydrogen-based shaft furnace process is gaining more and more attention due to its low carbon emission, and the reduction behavior of iron bearing burdens significantly affects its operation.

The disintegration behavior and mechanism of iron ore pellet in simulated shaft furnace conditions were investigated in details. Effects of temperature, reducing gas and gangue compositions were emphatically discussed. It was found that pellet disintegrated acutely as reduced by H 2 /CO = 0.8 at 550 °C. Gangue minerals in pellet were proved to ease the …

1. Introduction. Volume swelling of iron ore pellets accompanied with strength decrease appears commonly during reduction. In order to ensure permeability and operation in shaft furnace smelting processes, the maximum swelling index of pellet is always required to be no more than 20% [1], [2].Numerous researches have been done to reveal the swelling …
General pellet chemistry – The type and percentages of chemical elements will determine the tendency of pellets to stick and form clusters in the shaft furnace. Process upset conditions in the shaft furnace can result in significant iron unit loss to non-prime product, which may or may not be suitable for recycling through the shaft furnace.
Figure 3 shows a comparison of the IEA and WSD views and the related iron ore demand of between 400 and 600 mt by 2050, compared to about 160 mt in 2019. From the quantitative perspective, iron ore supply should not be an issue, with BF iron production falling from just under 1.3 billion tonnes in 2019 to 665 mt by 2050 per IEA's SDS (see Figure 1).
The iron and steel metallurgy industry faces the question of how to replace carbon in iron ore reduction to reduce CO 2 emission in basic industries and achieve the expectation of "double carbon". This study investigates the reduction swelling of individual iron ore pellet under mixed H 2-CO atmospheres and at temperatures of 800–1000 ℃ by in-situ observation.
The transformation from traditional iron- and steelmaking technologies to green H2-based new technologies will require an improvement in the quality and purity of iron ore burden materials. Iron ore pellets are essential inputs for producing direct reduced iron (DRI), but the conventional binders, used in iron ore pelletizing, introduce gangue oxides to the DRI …
