SUMMARY:Optimal refractory solutions for natural gas-hydrogen DRI reactors
DESCRIPTION:Direct reduction of iron technologies have proven to have lower CO2 footprint compared to the conventional blast furnace routes and are further moving towards higher hydrogen content in the reducing gas in order to minimize the direct CO2 emissions. High hydrogen concentration in the reducing gas may react with the refractory and change its texture, resulting in an alteration of chemical composition, thermal profile and affect the mechanical load bearing capacities of the refractory linings. This paper reviews the functional requirements of the refractory linings  of a DRI reactor with higher percentage of H2 in the reducing gas and recommends optimum total solution, brick, monolithic and jointing products, based on the past experience and recent experimental studies.
