The present study carefully examined entropy generation during wustite pellet reduction to sponge iron. The finite volume method was used to solve the governing equations. The grain model was used to simulate the reaction rate. The reactant gases including carbon monoxide and hydrogen were converted to water and carbon dioxide after wustite reduction. Entropy is generated by heat transfer, mass...

The loss of permeability affects the reduction ferrous burden in cohesive zone a blast furnace (BF). Vanadia–titania magnetite (VTM) various chemical compositions have different metallurgical properties. and softening-melting-dripping properties kinds VTM were investigated. results showed that core sinter or pellet is indirectly reduced to wustite (Fe,Ti)Ox, periphery contains interlinked metal...

We studied 27 large (>400 µm) iron-type (I) cosmic spherules (made essentially of magnetite and wustite) representative of the Transantarctic Mountains collection [1], together with 5 G-type (G) spherules (made of iron oxides and silicates in similar proportions). They were characterized by magnetic and density measurements, SEM imaging and microprobe analysis of polished sections. Presence of ...

This work focused on the characterization physical and microstructural of the self-reducing pellet made of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) dust using different low cost techniques. The serial sectioning technique was used to evaluate detailed measurements of pore connections, tortuositiy of pores and porosity distribution. The chemical analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectr...

Iron fatty acid complexes (IFACs) are prepared via the dissolution of porous hematite powder in hot unsaturated fatty acid. The IFACs are then decomposed in five different organic solvents under reflux conditions in the presence of the respective fatty acid. The XRD analysis results indicate that the resulting NPs comprise a mixture of wustite, magnetite, and maghemite phases. The solvents with...

High temperature thermoelectric power measurements were performed on single crystal samples of wustite in equilibrium with a carbon dioxidecarbon monoxide atmosphere. These measurements were made using a "heat pulse" technique which allowed the thermoelectric power of a sample to be determined in a matter of seconds. The short time required for this measurement precluded any possibility of ioni...

In an effort to develop breakthrough technologies that enable drastic reduction in CO2 emissions from steel industry (ULCOS project), the reduction of iron ore by pure hydrogen in a direct reduction shaft furnace was investigated. After experimental and modelling studies, a 2D, axisymmetrical steady-state model called REDUCTOR was developed to simulate a counter-current moving bed reactor in wh...
