KINETICS.- OF PRE-REDUCTION OF IRON -.ORE BRIQUETTES USING WOOD CHARCOAL UNDER NITROGEN ATMOSPHERE

Abstract

Bincido blast furnace is the only versatile unit for production of pig irant every effort has been made in recent years to increase its productivity and decrease the coke rate, It has been rea1ied that by charging the prepared burden of proper oisol, pzticularly the pro-reduced peiiotn or br.quettos, the coke rate can be decreased and the capacity of the furnace can be increased considerably" Many cotmtries e.g. 3apan,Canada, U.S.A. etc# have reported excellent resets on increaso in pro,* duction and decrease in coke rate by charging pre.reduced. materials in their blast furnaces. On average, it can be said that every 15 metallization of the burden decreases coke rata by i/2* flowevor, no such vork has been reported underInd-ion conditions,
