Integration of Open Slag Bath Furnace with Direct Reduction Reactors for New-Generation Steelmaking

The present paper illustrates an innovative steel processing route developed by employing hydrogen direct reduced pellets and open slag bath furnace. the reduction reactor as reductant on industrial scale. solution allows for production of from blast furnace transformed in reactor. are then melted furnaces, allowing carburization further refining. proposed is clean decarbonization industry. kinetic, chemical thermodynamic issues detailed with particular attention paid to conditions. also supported economic evaluation compared traditional routes.
