The blast furnace technology is still the main ironmaking route with a current global share of
70%. Reduction of fossil carbon consumption and CO 2 emissions in blast furnace …

This paper provides a fundamental and critical review of biomass application as a reducing
agent and fuel in integrated steelmaking. The basis for the review is derived from the current …

Steel production is one of the most energy and carbon intensive industries contributing 5–
7% of the global CO 2 emissions. In the search for ways to decrease fossil CO 2 emissions …

Under the background of “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutralization”, the green
transformation of iron and steel enterprises is imminent. The hydrogen-rich smelting …

The occurrence state and consumption way of coke in blast furnace hearth are of great
significance for efficient utilization of blast furnace fuel and low-carbon smelting. In this …

The metallurgical properties and the microstructure of coke after gasification reaction with
pure H2O and pure CO2 were investigated in this study. Moreover, the first-principles …

A blast furnace (BF) is the dominant process for making iron in the world. The BF is charged
with metallurgical coke and iron burden materials including iron ore pellets, sinter, and lump …

Purpose This paper explores a life cycle assessment (LCA) case study of two char carbon
reductants for silicon alloys production, manufactured from Polish and Colombian hard coal …

Blast furnace (BF) remains the dominant ironmaking process worldwide. Central coke
charging (CCC) operation is a promising technology for stabilizing BF operations, but it …

The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of charcoal and Kraft-lignin additions
on the structure, cold compression strength, and reactivity of bio-cokes produced at the …
