Sponge Iron Production by Direct Reduction of Iron Oxide Amit Chatterjee

Provides a fascinating study of the emerging field of direct reduction in which iron ore is `directly reduced' in the solid-state, using either natural gas or non-coking coal, to produce a highly metallised material, referred to as sponge iron (or direct reduced iron). The book offers comprehensive coverage and critical assessment of various coal-based and gas-based direct reduction processes.
