SUMMARY:Evaluation of iron products quality for direct reduction: Towards a simulation test
DESCRIPTION:The global context of action against climate change brought the iron ore producers and steelmakers to engage in ambitious plan for GHG reduction. The direct reduction process is part of numerous steelmaker’s GHG reduction plans consequently this topic is increasingly studied - especially cases where green hydrogen would be used.  To ensure that various iron ore products will be performing adequately in either typical or future alternative DR reduction processes, a test evaluating readily their quality, under industrial representative conditions, should be available.   
This paper presents an updated laboratory scale test method allowing to study direct reduction of iron ore products under conditions close to industrial scale. The updated test allows the use of simulations as input conditions, is non-isothermal, allows for changes in gas concentrations and includes less typical species such as water vapor and CH4.  The updated test method follows the impact of direct reduction on pellet performance such as reducibility, metallization, fines generation, pellet deformation, clustering, microstructure, and carbon pick-up.
