In Fig. 1, we show the design of the hydrogen direct reduction (HDR) process on which the developed chemical process model presented later on in this chapter is based. Iron ore is preheated and fed into a reduction shaft, where it is converted to direct reduced iron (DRI) and further compacted to hot briquetted iron (HBI).
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In a DR process, iron ore pellets and/or lump iron ores are reduced by a reducing gas to produce DRI or hot briquetted iron (HBI). Depending on the generation of the reducing gas, two different DR processes are commercially available: gasbased and coal/oilbased.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Direct reduction processes may be classified, according to the type of the reducing agent used, to gasbased and coalbased processes. In 2000, DRI produced from the gasbased processes accounted for 93%, while the coalbased processes produced 7%. Gasbased processes have shaft furnaces for reducing.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Both processes are very energy intensive through the direct burning of fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, or indirectly through the use of electricity. Global steel production is heavily dependent upon the use of coal via the BFBOF process. In 2013, over 70% of total global steel production relied directly upon coal.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In India, steel produced through DRI is about 3 t CO 2 /t of steel, due to its large reliance on coal (82%) as an input into DRI production, with the remainder of DRI using natural gas (18%) [25, 33, 34]. Natural gasbased Midrex direct reduction process along with EAF has one of the lowest carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions of steel production ...
