Squandering iron ore by means of oxygen reduction occurs directly before squandering squandering by a blast furnace. Current amount of steel produced by this method squander less than 2 percent of the total volume of squandering the world's steel. Mexico is a country that produced the most. Many plants are plants with capacity of 450 tons of steel per day squandering squandering steel produced by this method is similar to a small grain. When expanded view to see the surrounding porous. Similar hole made in the sponge iron is often called porous (sponge iron) production of perforated metal different from the steel by squandering squandering a blast furnace. Iron ore is ground to provide detailed size 11.5 mm fuel use methane gas, which generally is separated from natural gas. Or carbon monoxide gas. With hydrogen. These gases act as fuel to heat high. And allow oxygen reduction reaction.
Iron ore was ground to flow into the reactor (reactor) from the tower gas heat (heating tower) will flow into the reactors. React with the iron ore is porous iron out. Iron ore to react in the reactor about 10-14 hours long 100 tons of iron ore to steel, perforated steel, perforated 60-65 tons 1 ton require 760-800 cubic meters of methane gas, iron sulfur content is less porous than iron squander that. from squandering a blast furnace. Because sulfur in iron ore were removed by the reaction of oxygen reduction at porous steel will be made to steel.
The perforated steel suitable sources of natural gas. Or carbon monoxide as a volume. Take - Thai municipal project to produce porous iron using natural gas found in the Gulf of Thailand. This project plans to set up factories in the industrial area east coast
