Analysis of impact of mechanical degradation of iron ore pellets on gas flow in a direct reduction furnace using simulation

Iron ore pellets are increasingly important in the production of sponge iron using reduction furnaces. The utilization of pellets present advantages over lump ores, increasing productivity, process stability and throughput. Compared to lump ores, pellets present higher resistance to mechanical degra...
