Objective

This project undertakes to investigate the reoxidation and ignition behaviour for different parameters of sponge iron handling. Synthetic sponge iron will also be produced by laboratory trials to acquire knowledge about the influence of parameters not available by testing materials in operational plants. The research will contribute to the improvement of safety in transport and storing of sponge iron and will enable realistic estimate and control of hazards linked to the handling of these raw materials for steel-making.
