SUMMARY:Comparison of reduction behavior of DRI and blast furnace pellets in CO-H2 atmosphere
DESCRIPTION:The study aimed to compare the reduction behavior of DRI (direct reduced iron) and blast furnace pellets in a CO-H2 atmosphere. The experiments were conducted under controlled conditions to evaluate the effect of temperature and CO-H2 ratio on the reduction process. The reduction rate and final degree of reduction were used as the main parameters to compare the performance of DRI and blast furnace pellets.

The results showed that the reduction rate of DRI was much faster than that of blast furnace pellets, and the final degree of reduction was also higher for DRI. This can be attributed to the higher reactivity and porosity of DRI, which facilitates the transfer of gaseous reduction agents and results in a more complete reduction process. The study also found that increasing the temperature and CO-H2 ratio improved the reduction rate for both DRI and blast furnace pellets. However, DRI still showed better reduction performance compared to blast furnace pellets under all experimental conditions.

The comparison of the reduction behavior of DRI and blast furnace pellets in a CO-H2 atmosphere highlights the advantages of using DRI as a raw material in the iron and steel industry. The results of this study demonstrate that DRI is a more favorable alternative to blast furnace pellets in the CO-H2 reduction process due to its higher reactivity, porosity, and reduction rate. The findings of this study can help optimize the reduction process and improve efficiency and could have important implications for the iron and steel industry, particularly for the production of high-quality steel products.
