Process for Production of Highly Metallised Directly Reduced Iron Cylinders (DRIC) from Lean Grade Raw Materials
Implementing Organization
National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML)
Project Overview
The process utilizes ~100% waste/lean grade raw materials to produce value-added products. This invention is useful for converting steel plant and mining waste such as iron ore fines/slime and lean grade coking or non-coking coal (>32% ash) into a highly metallized (metallization >96%) low Sulphur (0.008%S) DRI Cylinders suitable as a feed for induction furnace, electric arc furnace and basic oxygen furnace steelmaking
