Investigating the Iron‐Steam Process for Coupling With SOEC and SOFC: A Step Toward Integrated Hydrogen and Electricity Storage

steel research international, EarlyView.
Fixed‐bed reactor experiments (10 L) validate the iron–steam redox process, bridging material‐scale research and industrial power‐to‐power applications. Coupled with SOEC/SOFC systems, this framework defines critical interfaces for heat and gas management. Results confirm reproducible hydrogen storage and release, demonstrating technical feasibility at

Bath Vibration During Open Eye Formation in a Physical Model of a Steelmaking Ladle

steel research international, EarlyView.
Using a physical model, this study shows that vibration measurements reliably predict open eye size in steelmaking ladles, offering a practical alternative to visual monitoring. Vessel vibrations stabilize faster than the open eye, except at high frequencies near the bottom.

Potential for Reducing Emissions by Regulating O2, CO, and H2O in the Recirculation Gas in Iron Ore Sintering

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential for reducing emissions during the sintering process by selectively adjusting the O2, CO, and H2O content in the recirculation gas. Adjusting these components positively affects the sintering process, enabling the coke breeze content in the sinter mixture to be reduced.

Effective Equilibrium Reaction Zone Modeling of Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction: A Scenario Analysis

steel research international, EarlyView.
The study presents a dynamic zonal model for hydrogen plasma smelting reduction (HPSR) in direct current arc furnaces, predicting time‐dependent behavior of metal, slag, and off‐gas. The study considers various industrial scenarios to quantify energy demand, hydrogen utilization, degree of reduction, and other operational sensitivities.

Double Slag Operating Standard for Mitigation of CO2 Emissions in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking

steel research international, EarlyView.
Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking uses a double slag process (DSP) to produce low‐phosphorus steel. To reduce carbon emissions in a BOF, the hot metal ratio (HMR) must be lowered. The present article describes the optimal conditions for DSP operations under low‐HMR conditions: temperature of 1360 ± 5 °C, total Fe content of 10 ± 2 wt%, basicity (=

Influence of an Electromagnetic Field on Direct Reduction of Iron Oxide Using Hydrogen as a Reducing Agent

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study investigates the reduction of pure iron oxides and industrial iron ore using hydrogen gas as a reducing agent. Additionally, to determine whether the reduction process can be accelerated, electromagnetic fields of 50 Hz and 25 kHz were applied.

Sequential Reduction of Chromite Pellets Using Hydrogen and Silicon Carbide for Carbon Emission Abatement During Ferrochrome Production

steel research international, EarlyView.
H2 prereduction selectively metallizes Fe in UG2 chromite pellets at 1100°C, while silicon carbide becomes active at 1300°C to convert remaining Cr2O3 to carbides and promote Cr metallization. By separating the roles of H2 and SiC, the sequential route reaches up to 65.7% Cr metallization and suppresses in‐furnace CO generation by ≈75% versus ...
