Extensive use of selective catalytic reduction denitrogenation technology leads to the generation of a large amount of hazardous waste vanadium–tungsten–titanium catalysts. To valorize these waste catalysts, a new technology for the recycling of waste catalysts in steelworks was proposed, in which waste catalysts were added to the iron …
Therefore, the TI of iron-bearing materials should be > 95% + 6.3 mm and the RDI < 12% − 6.3 mm, as well as CCS > 225 kg. More fines in the shaft furnace decrease the bed permeability, leading to nonuniform gas flow and temperatures in the shaft as well as difficulties in injecting the reducing gas through the bustle.
Abstract. Iron ore is regarded as the second most important commodity behind oil. As an essential input for the production of crude steel, iron ore feeds the world's largest trillion-dollar-a-year metal market and is the backbone of global infrastructure. To meet the growing demand for steel products, world iron ore production has increased ...
Abstract. Iron ore tailing is a major solid waste requiring advanced recycling methods because ore tailing powder is polluting air and water resources. For instance, about 300 …
