Hismelt (R) - Direct ironmaking becomes a reality by Sherrington, D

“…Following extensive trials on a 100 000 tpa Research and Development facility at Kwinana, Western Australia, HIsmelt Corporation (wholly owned by Rio Tinto) are confident of the future commercial success of this technology.The HIsmelt process uses iron ore fines and non-coking coals to produce molten pig iron suitable for feeding to BOF and EAF steelmaking vessels. The unique process configuration combines direct injection of raw materials into the molten iron bath, high rates of metal and slag mixing, and effective post-combustion of the bath gases to achieve efficient coal utilisation. …”
