Reduction of Iron Ore by Means of Lignite Semicoke

摘要

The use of lignite semicoke in reducing iron ore is considered. One promising aspect of ferrous metallurgy is the derivation of products directly from iron ore or iron-bearing waste by reduction, without the need for sintering and blast-furnace processes. This implies gas-phase or solid-phase reduction of iron-bearing materials [1-3]. In certain conditions (relatively inexpensive materials, simplified technology, etc.), solid-phase reduction may be preferable.
