Sponge Iron

 

Some of these advantages of during steel making process:

More reduction of Feo and send back Fe from Slag phase to melting Phase

Oxygen remained from injection is negligible (not suitable for casting)

Pasty Slag will generate without any graphite injection

Coke addition requirement will decrease sharply. This cause to save around 5.6 USD per kg Coke.

With high carbon content of sponge iron – DRI , decreasing the cost of melt production is visible from 1%to 2.5 %, 10 US Dollar per ton.

With high carbon content of (up to 2.5 %), it will cause significant decrease in energy consumption (up to 300KW/ton)

Generally, Iran`s total sponge iron production is in class B. DRI class B can be shipped to distant destinations in containerized jumbo-bags without any hazards and necessary precautions. But for bulk shipment of DRI , there is some conservation based on IMSBC Codes.  So, we have a professional expert group who were trained for ensure of safe carriage of bulk cargoes.
