one of the most important methods to produce sponge iron is coal based reduction of iron ore. direct reduction methods based on coal are being improved due to the abundance of coal sources and its lower cost in comparison with natural gas. volatile materials in coal play an important role in the reduction of iron oxides. in this study, noncoking coal with high volatile materials from iran and c...

To counteract the rising greenhouse gas emissions, mainly CO2, European steel industry needs to restructure current process route for production. Globally, blast furnace and subsequent basic oxygen are used in 73% of crude production, with a CO2 footprint roughly 1.8 t per ton produced steel. Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction (HPSR) utilizes excited hydrogen states highest reduction potentials...

at many circumstances, in heat exchange processes several exchangers were used with different cost laws due to their pressure ratings, materials of construction and exchange3r types. in such circumstances traditional methods of pinch technology can not be led to minimum total annual cost may cause some other disadvantages like more complexity or higher maintenance. in this research work a new a...

aims: in biological wastewater treatment processes, a large amount of sludge is produced. stabilization of sludge is essential before disposal because of the risks to human health and environment. therefore, selecting an appropriate process for stabilization this sludge may efficiently decrease risks. the aim of this study was to examine the compound efficiency of the advanced fenton and ozonat...
