Coal is primarily used as a solid fuel to produce electricity and heat through combustion. When coal is used for electricity generation, it is usually pulverized and then combusted (burned) in a furnace with a boiler. The furnace heat converts boiler water to steam, which is then used to spin turbines which turn generators and create electricity.

ores containing iron oxides have been studied in the past [15-17]. Their researches are conducted using solid carbon as reducing agents and reducing gas (CO and/or H 2). The basic chemistry and thermodynamics plays a vital role in the understanding of chloride segregation process. Magnetic iron powder is produced from the iron oxide and
Pulverized coal is commonly used as the main fuel to maintain an adequately high process temperature required for the sintering/pelletizing process [8,9].The combustion-generated ash material in combination with iron-ore pellet dust (from the disintegration of the pellets), can give rise to deposition/slagging.
May 11, 2021· Iron and steel companies account for more than 10% of global emissions of NO. The iron ore sintering process represents more than 40% of the total emission of NO. At present, there is no economical and effective method of inhibiting NO emissions from sintering flue gas. Therefore, controlling the conditions of fuel combustion is highly required for the reduction of NO. The current research ...
10%· Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has been used to research the pyrolysis and combustion processes of coal used in rotary kiln of iron ore oxide pellet. Furthermore, the effects of air flow and oxygen concentration on the combustion behavior of coal were examined with TGA.
Coking coal needs to produce coke strong enough to maintain porosity in a blast furnace filled with lumps of iron ore, limestone, and coke. If it crushed, and powder filled the gaps between the lumps, the hot CO would not be able to reach the iron ore to remove its oxygen.
Process feasibility has been experimentally studied on a new reduction concept using the composite pellets of iron ore and coal powders in their combustion bed.
