Direct iron-making via rotary hearth furnace and new smelting technology

Obiettivo

In an integrated blast furnace-based iron and steel plant, iron-making coke-making and sintering is the process step with the highest impact on environment and natural resources and which has the highest operating and capital costs (over 56% of cost of hot rolled coils via BF-BOF route). The aim of this demonstration project is to develop and test a two-step alternative iron-making process, called "Redsmelt NST" (New Smelting Technology) based on iron oxide pre-reduction in a Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF) and smelting of the hot DRI in a coal-and-oxygen- blown converter. The major tasks of the project concern the design, construction and testing of a demonstration plant of a size large enough to provide experimental results directly transferable to the commercial size.
