In coalbased DRI process, accretion formation inside the rotary kiln is a genuine complex problem. Accretion formation in a rotary kiln of 100 tpd DRI plant has been investigated. The nature of accretion formation with respect to the charge burden and operational parameter have been discussed. High ash content in the coal and excess use of dolomite lead to accretion formation. Two different ...

One advantage of this method is that iron can be added as lumps, pellets, or fines, and if coal is used, it does not need to be coked. Therefore, a sinter/pellet and a coke plant is not needed for this operation. The end product is called direct reduced iron or DRI.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Most of the Indian DRI plants use coalbased processes due to less investment, lowergestation period, easy availability of coal, and limited accessibility of gas. The overall capacity utilization of the DRI plants stands low, at about 60%. The poor quality of iron ore further results in lower yield of the sector.

Few DRI plants in the world have the ideal setup with an EAF downstream of the DRI plant, where the DRI coming out of the shaft furnace can be charged hot into the EAF. However, a significant number of steelmaking plants that use DRI receive it at ambient temperature, thus reducing its potential valueinuse. Preheating the ...

In contrast, studies of MIDREX DRI plants lack standalone CCS ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The naturalgasbased DRI processes, however, limit plant locations to places where natural gas is available. On the other hand, coalbased DRI plants are flexible as to plant location, because coal is widely distributed in large deposits and is easy to transport. This has significantly increased the production of coalbased DRI.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In coalbased DRI plants rotary kiln is used for the reduction of iron ore. Accretion rings formations inside the kiln adversely affect the performance of plant in terms of low production and inferior quality, which frequently lead to shut down. About 70% of the coalbased DRI rotatory kiln shut down is due to the accretion formation [1]. Lit
