Investigation of the Reoxidation and Material Behavior of Directly Reduced Pellets and Fines Under Simulated Rail Transport Conditions

steel research international, EarlyView.
The study investigates the reoxidation behavior of DRI pellets (Midrex and H2‐reduced) under realistic conditions, considering the test parameters of temperature, humidity, storage duration, particle size (including fine fraction), and container geometry. The samples are analyzed based on mass changes.

Reducing the use of Fossil Carbon and Fuels to Defossilize the Electric Steelmaking Route: Evaluation of the Effects of Alternative C‐Bearing Materials and Hydrogen in the Electric Arc Furnace

steel research international, EarlyView.
The experiments and simulations demonstrate that, in general, alternative carbon sources can decrease fossil CO2 without adversely impacting EAF process and product. High plastics and tires ratios cause unsafe conditions and poor slag foaming. Hydrogen in EAF burners decreases CO2 but increases water vapor, which can raise the hydrogen content in ...

Development of carbonized rice husks briquettes: Synergy between emissions, combustion, kinetics and thermodynamic characteristics

Energy Reports, 2023
Briquettes uptake continues to be low, despite their ability to offset the negative impacts caused by firewood/charcoal. Possible reason for this is lack of literature towards key parameters of the developed briquettes.

Carbonization of Briquetts

Journal of the Fuel Society of Japan, 1963
About four kinds of briquett which differ one another in the quantity of volatile matter, the heat of carbonization was calculated from the combination of experimental data and equation derived by the authors.As the result, it was ascertained that the relation of direct proportion is nearly formed between the quantity of volatile matter and heat of ...

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks

steel research international, EarlyView.
Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.

The Application of Hydrochar Composite Briquettes for Sustainable Slag Foaming in the Electric Arc Furnace Process

steel research international, EarlyView.
Hydrochar‐mill‐scale briquettes with varying C/O molar ratios (0.07–0.90) have been tested at 1650 °C to evaluate their slag foaming performance for electric arc furnace application. All seven briquette recipes developed succeed in promoting slag foaming.
