This paper addresses the modeling of the iron ore direct reduction process, a process likely to reduce CO₂ emissions from the steel industry. The shaft furnace is divided into three sections (reduction, transition, and cooling), and the model is two-dimensional (cylindrical geometry for the upper se …
Oct 23, 2018· Extraction of Iron from its ores. Extraction of iron or its metallurgy is the process of obtaining this metal in a form where it can be put to practical use, and this process of extraction consists of three stages: Ore dressing, Reduction of ores and Iron production. Extraction of Iron from its ores.
The rate of iron ore reduction increased with increasing temperature up to 900 degrees C. XRD analysis revealed that the original iron ore mainly contains iron oxide hydrate and was converted into simple hematite after heating and then become magnetite after reduction. The Usage Count Fe content in the original ore increased almost 12% when 40 ...

T RON ore reduction is the conversion of iron oxide minerals to metallic iron. The chemical reactions involved take place in the blast furnace during the production of hot metal or in the several proposed solid-state processes that pro-duce sponge iron. Because there are three oxides of iron, hematite, magnetite and wustite, and be-
