Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted.. The Iron Ore are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. Various Forms The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite or siderite. Usage Iron Ore is used in …
A study was made of the reduction of mill scale to sponge iron using coke at different temperatures and times. The reduced samples were studied by X-ray …
Ethiopia is going to extract iron ore on a large scale for the first time, after an agreement was signed by the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoMPNG) and Sekota Mining Plc on Thursday August 24. ... using a tunnel kiln, which will reduce the concentrated oxide ore into a direct reduced iron (DRI) that is also called sponge iron ...
Furthermore, based on the model and literature review of similar designs, the sand layer depth should be at least 20 cm. Key Words: Small scale, Iron and manganese removal system, Borehole water ...

In the eastern part of India, a small-scale sponge iron and steel manufacturing company has been facing same type of green concerns for aligning its potential suppliers. At this juncture, the company requires a systematic and suitable decision making approach for selecting its potential green suppliers. To achieve that, …
In this study, we firstly develop the photo-Fenton-like system with millimetric sponge iron (s-Fe 0), H 2 O 2, visible light (vis, λ ≥ 420 nm) and rhodamine B (RhB), and present a comprehensive study concerning the mechanism. Thus, we investigate (1) the adsorption of RhB onto s-Fe 0, (2) the photo-Fenton-like removal of RhB over iron …
Sponge Iron / DRI. Sponge Iron also called Direct reduced iron (DRI), is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) to iron by a reducing gas or elemental carbon produced from natural gas or coal. ... pellets, mill scale, furnace dust, etc.), in order to convert the ore to metallic iron, without ...
The longest established of these processes is the sponge iron process, the leading example of a family of processes involving solid state reduction of an oxide. In the process, selected magnetite (Fe3O4) ore is mixed …
Sponge Iron: Today, sponge iron is produced by reducing iron ore without melting it. This makes for an energy-efficient feedstock for specialty steel manufacturers which used to rely upon scrap metal.

The final product is the so-called DRI with a metallization degree in the range 85–95% as a function of the employed route and the processing parameters. Direct reduced iron (DRI) is also known as sponge iron (Hasambeigi et al. 2014). This high porous material has a metallization degree in the range 85–95% with a carbon content in the …
The sponge iron contains very few elements that can oxidize and generate heat, such as silicon, carbon, and manganese, and cannot be used for large-scale converter steelmaking, but for electric arc furnace steelmaking instead of scrap steel. The main quality indicators of sponge iron include metallization rate, ...
