The issues of energy consumption and CO2 emissions of major ironmaking processes, including several new technologies, are assessed. These two issues are interconnected in that the production and use of fuels to generate energy add to the total amount...
The development of a novel ironmaking technology based on fine iron ore concentrate in a flash reactor is summarized. The design of potential industrial reactors for flash ironmaking based on the computational fluid dynamics technique is described. O...
Despite the dominance of the blast furnace ironmaking process, more attention is being paid to the new technologies with lower energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. A novel flash ironmaking technology using pulverized coals and iron concen...
Iron smelting is one of the primary sources of carbon emissions. The development of low-carbon ironmaking technologies is essential for the iron and steel industry to realize the “dual carbon” ambition. Hydrogen-based flash ironmaking tec...
The carburization of molten iron is close to saturation in the blast furnace process, while that in the flash ironmaking process is uncertain because there is no pressure from solid charge and no carburization reactions occurring between the deadman...
This Special Issue on “Process Modeling in Pyrometallurgical Engineering” consists of 39 articles, including two review papers, and covers a wide range of topics related to process development and analysis based on modeling in ironmaking,...
This paper reports studies on the thermal chemistry of the flash pyrolysis (heating rate of 20,000 °C/s up to 800 °C) of non-fossil fuel carbon (NFF-C) waste (or refuse-derived fuel, RDF) in the context of using this as an alternative reducta...
