Summary: The novelty of deep reduction roasting lies in its ability to recover iron to high degrees and simultaneously remove a large proportion of zinc and lead impurities. This study performed deep reduction roasting at different temperatures and investigated the phase changes during ironmaking. Hematite, the main iron-bearing mineral in Xinjiang, China, was found to contain up to 91.35% iron and minor amounts of magnetite and iron silicate.

Summary: The study investigates the reduction of iron ore by biomass volatiles and explores the steps involved, aiming for optimization of its use in the ironmaking industry. Reduction of iron ore occurred mainly by non-condensable gases from biomass pyrolysis at low temperatures and by carbon deposition at high temperatures, with the deposited carbon being more reactive than other carbon sources commonly used. The activation energy for carbothermic reduction indicates carbon gasification as the reaction-limiting step.

Summary: In the reduction roasting and magnetic separation process of high-phosphorus iron ore, Na2CO3 had the most significant effect on iron recovery and dephosphorization, while the effect of CaF2 was negligible. Na2CO3 can promote the reduction of iron oxides and growth of iron particles, resulting in better iron recovery and separation of iron and phosphorus.

Summary: A new approach for simultaneous iron recovery and dephosphorization from high-phosphorus oolitic iron ore using oxidation roasting-gas-based reduction (ORGR) and magnetic separation process was developed. The mechanism was investigated using thermodynamic calculations, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The results showed high iron recovery rate and low phosphorus content in the reduced iron, making it ideal for steelmaking.

Summary: The reduction roasting followed by magnetic separation process is effective in treating high-phosphorus oolitic iron ore. Sodium salts, particularly Na2SO4, were found to enhance the separation of iron and phosphorus. However, NaCl did not inhibit the reduction of phosphorus in iron minerals.

Summary: The feasibility of high-efficiency separation of iron and phosphorus in high-phosphorus oolitic iron ore (HPOIO) was studied by reduction roasting and magnetic separation process (RRMSP) without a dephosphorization agent. The results showed that the full separation of iron and phosphorus was achieved, producing powdery reduced iron (PRI) with iron content of 92.77% and phosphorus content of 0.09%. Under optimal conditions, iron recovery and dephosphorization reached 68.70% and 93.50%, respectively. The method allowed for clean production without the addition of a dephosphorization agent, but further investigation of the economic benefits is needed.

Summary: Gasification kinetics of six chars from residual origin were studied under relatively low temperature, low CO2, and high H2O partial pressures. The Random Pore Model (RPM) showed the best fit to experimental results, but the selection of the reaction model depended on the ash composition, specifically the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metals. Chars with ash content higher than 30% wt. were modeled with the RPM model, while chars with the highest K/Si ratio required modified versions of the RPM to accurately predict reaction rates. Textural properties played a key role in determining reaction parameters, such as the pre-exponential factor and activation energy, for chars with similar ash content and composition.
