— Coal is used mainly for reduction and heating purposes in the metallurgical industry. In the conventional Direct Reduced Iron (sponge iron) making process, the carbon in coal reduces the Fe 2 O 3 into Fe 3 O 4, FeO, and Fe(m) phases.These reduced iron oxides are magnetic and easily get segregated by magnetic separation, whereas the …
— The pre-reduction of manganese ore using elemental sulfur under an inert atmosphere at temperatures above 600 °C is required for maximum MnO formation. Under atmospheric conditions, SO2 formation via sulfur oxidation leads to MnSO4, which again will dissociate to lower Mn oxides. Thus, excess energy is required for this conversion, …
— 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 challenges of maintaining the iron and steel-making processes are enormous. The challenges, such as cumbersome production …
