The injection of alternative reducing agents into blast furnaces is recognized for its potential to enhance both the carbon footprint and operational costs. Specifically, the use of hydrogen-bearing gases can shift the reduction of iron oxide from carbon to hydrogen, resulting in significant environmental benefits. Recent projects and experiences from the authors' company highlight a changing...
Gas-based direct reduction (DR) is a key process in low-emission steelmaking due to its flexibility to utilize a variety of reducing agents with lower GHG emissions compared to blast furnace (BF) ironmaking. While direct reduced iron (DRI) and hot-briquetted iron (HBI) produced from low-gangue iron ore are commonly used in electric arc furnaces (EAFs), efficient processing of DRI made from...
Dry blast furnace gas cleaning technology offers great economic advantages when compared to traditional wet gas cleaning owing to its improved energy efficiency, lower cost, reduced plot space, and practically eliminated water consumption. The Danieli Corus solution is based upon proven technology that has been applied numerous times for cleaning aluminum smelter gases and anode baking fumes....
