Hydrogen (H 2) energy is a promising candidate to replace carbon monoxide (CO) as a
reductant for iron oxide reduction in revolutionary ironmaking industrial processes, and …

Steel demand is going to grow in the next future. With the present production routes,
greenhouse gas emissions are destined to double by 2050 with a very remarkable effect on …

Production of direct reduced iron (DRI), particularly with green hydrogen, is a key pathway to
the decarbonization of the iron and steel industry. However, the sticking tendency during the …

Sintering behavior of micron-sized combusted iron powder is studied in a packed bed
reactor, at various temperatures under inert (nitrogen) and reducing (hydrogen) conditions …

Sticking of pellets occurs in the direct reduction process of gas-based shaft furnace. This
phenomenon has negative effects on the smooth flow of raw materials and continuous …

As the urgency for decarbonization of economies around the world is becoming more
pressing, green energy carriers synthesized with renewable energy are emerging as …

The global annual production of steel is approximately 2 billion tons, accounting for 8% of
the world's energy demand and 7% of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions in the energy sector …

In recent years, with the wide application of image data visual extraction technology in the
field of industrial engineering, the development of industrial economy has reached a new …

Abstract The Areal Gas Distribution (AGD) beams arranged in COREX shaft furnaces have
been proven to optimize the distribution of the reducing gas. However, the effect of AGD …

The transition of renewable energy requires, besides the production of solar and wind
energy, ways to efficiently store and transport large amounts of energy. Micron-sized iron …
