Acceleration of Oxidation Reaction of Iron-bearing Materials Co-existed with Carbonaceous Materials in Iron Ore Sintering Bed

Iron ore sintering process occupies approximately 3% of CO2 emission of Japan because a large amount of coke breeze was used as a main agglomeration agent. Therefore, its suppression has been required. One of the promising methods is to replace coke breeze with biomass char and iron-bearing materials. In this study, the effect of the utilization of metallic iron with coke or biomass char (PKS char) as an agglomeration agent on its oxidation...
