WhatsApp: +86 18203695377While coalbased DRIEAF is common in India, a majority of DRIEAF steelmaking entails the reforming of natural gas to generate a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen—the first step toward producing gray or blue hydrogen. Both carbon monoxide and hydrogen are used to reduce iron ore in a furnace, which then yields solid iron, steam, and CO₂.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In coalbased DRI plants rotary kiln is used for the reduction of iron ore. Accretion rings formations inside the kiln adversely affect the performance of plant in terms of low production and inferior quality, which frequently lead to shut down. About 70% of the coalbased DRI rotatory kiln shut down is due to the accretion formation [ 1 ].
