Sponge Iron production usually employs the DRI Process, undertaking solid state reduction of hematite ores with equal proportions of coal. This is brought about by the use of a coal fired Rotary Kiln, with the environmental impact of the entire process putting Sponge Iron plants under 'Red Category' industries.

The sponge iron reaction (SIR) is a chemical process based on redox cycling of an iron-based contact mass, the first cycle is a conversion step between iron metal (Fe) and wuestite (FeO), the second cycle is a conversion step between wuestite (FeO) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). In application, the SIT is used in the reformer sponge iron cycle (RESC) in combination with a steam reforming unit.

Direct Reducing Iron (DRI) Process. Process drawing. Introduction of direct reducing iron (DRI) process. The heat source is natural gas or heavy oil, petroleum coke (anthracite) as reducing agent, iron powder more than 68% Fe3O4 (can add 50% scale).

Processing steps for sponge iron sludge . The raw material of the direct reduction unit is iron pellets, which during the production process of sponge iron, about 5% of the raw materials are converted to iron, and these wastes are obtained as sludge from gas washing and softening dust from the regenerating unit.

The invention is about the producing method of the sponge iron. The process is: (1) make the material into the double iron oxide ball; (2) put the double iron oxide ball and the reductant into the reaction tank to get the sponge iron ball mass; (3) put the mass into the thermal insulating flume to separate the reductant, to remove the C, S,O in the protection of the N2 or the H2 to produce the ...

With stress being placed upon expanding steel capacity, particularly in many areas lacking capital and coking coal, much attention has been turned toward techniques for the production of sponge iron. Such a material can be used as a substitute for scrap in steelmaking furnaces. This article is a first-hand description of the production and utilization of sponge iron from a new process, the …

Sponge Iron Production Process Process description This is the case study of typical coal based sponge iron plant of 500 tonne per day capacity. The process flow diagram (PFD) of the sponge iron process is shown in Fig. 1. Different streams in the PFD are …

In the former process, iron ore is the main raw material. In an electric furnace, scrap iron is used and occasionally also sponge iron. Sponge is an intermediate product, which is produced from iron ore by means of direct reduction (= DRI or directly reduced iron) and that is then further reduced and smelted in an electric furnace.

In the direct reduction of iron ore in a series of fluidized beds, for the production of carburized iron sponge briquettes for use in electric furnaces, carburization is carried out after the last fluidized bed, at a temperature of 600° to 700° C., by batching the reduced iron powder with a solid finely divided carbonaceous material and then briquetting the mixture, in an inert atmosphere.

Sponge iron is a metal product that is produced by a direct reduction of iron ore in solid-state. Sponge iron is a good alternative to waste and is mainly used in the manufacture of steel via secondary routes. The process of making sponge iron occurs by removing oxygen from the iron …

The figure below shows the process of steelmaking using the DR-EAF route. Iron ore is reduced with hydrogen while in a solid state, hence the name direct reduction, to produce direct reduced iron (DRI) called sponge iron. Sponge iron is then fed into an EAF, where electrodes generate a current to melt the sponge iron to produce steel. Some ...

Malcolm Tatum Sponge iron is created from iron ore. Sometimes known as direct-reduced iron, sponge iron is a product that is produced using iron ore.The iron ore is often in the form of pellets or lumps, and is subjected to a reduction process that is created by the use of a reducing gas that emits from coal or a natural gas source.
