HIsmelt technology
Core principles
The HIsmelt process represents a practical alternative to the blast furnace to
produce pig iron
•
·
•
HIsmelt is a direct smelting reduction iron-making process that directly
smelts preheated ferrous materials (e.g. iron ore fines, C-fines, slags, etc)
and reductants (e.g. non-coking coal, biochar, etc) as the system's source of
reducing agents and heat
The ferrous fines, reductants and fluxes are injected into the molten iron bath
Fountain of molten metal erupts into the top space by rapid expulsion of CO,
H2, N2 from molten bath
Reaction gases CO and H2 are combusted with oxygen from hot blast,
generating heat
Heat from the gas combustion top space and heated metal and slag which fall
back into the bath, provide energy for sustaining reduction reactions and direct
smelting of iron ore
Slag coats and protects water cooled panels, minimizing energy loss
