Direct Reduction Recycling of Mill Scale Through Iron Powder Synthesis

Production of sponge iron powder by reduction of rolling mill scale

Recycling Evaluation of Mill Scale in Electric Arc Furnace

A considerable amount of mill scale is generated from steelmaking plants annually. Although some industries use it as raw material however, since it contains iron in the form of FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, it can be considered as a valuable metallurgical raw material for iron and steelmaking industry as well. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility, efficiency, and consequences o...

The Effect of Powder Recycling in Direct Metal Laser Deposition on Powder and Manufactured Part Characteristics

A potential way of improving the material efficiency and cost effectiveness of the Direct Metal Laser Deposition (DMLD) process is to take powder that is not utilised in each deposition attempt and re-use it in subsequent attempts (powder recycling). Currently, this is not widely implemented for fear of a detrimental effect on part quality. This study examines how powder recycling, using simple...

Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles using Borohydride Reduction

Iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple approach using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and Iron chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3.6H2O). Their physicochemical properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). XRD pattern showed that the iron...
