Iron- and steelmaking is the largest single industrial CO 2 emitter, accounting for 6.5% of all CO 2 emissions on the planet. This fact challenges the current technologies to achieve carbon-lean steel production and to align with the requirement of a drastic reduction of 80% in all CO 2 emissions by around 2050. Thus, alternative reduction …

The state-of-the-art procedure for processing iron ore is based on the reduction of mineral iron oxide (mainly hematite, Fe 2 O 3) in the blast furnace (Eq. (1)). This process emits 1.8–2.0 t CO 2 t −1 steel when carbon (coke) is used as reducing agent and energy source (Ariyama et al., 2019). 1 1 2 Fe 2 O 3 + 3 2 CO ⇌ Fe + 3 2 CO 2
Figure 3 – The Ellingham diagram for various oxides describes the metallurgical thermodynamics behind iron ore reduction.

The Rt did not …
The reduction kinetics of hematite iron ore fines to metallic iron by hydrogen using a laboratory fluidized bed reactor were investigated in a temperature range between 873 K and 1073 K, by measuring the weight change of the sample portion during reduction. The fluidization conditions were checked regarding plausibility within the …
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 …
The reduction gases only dissolve oxygen from the iron ores. This causes the iron ores to crack on the surface. The appearance resembles a porous sponge, which is why the deoxidized and thus …
The blast furnace and direct reduction processes have been the major iron production routes for various iron ores (i.e. goethite, hematite, magnetite, maghemite, siderite, etc.) in the past few decades, but the …
