A Process for Production of Low Sulphur Directly Reduced Iron from Waste Iron Ore Slime Including Rejected Coal Containing More Than 50% Ash

Production of highy metallised low sulphur from waste.

Developed product can be used as feed/substitute of scrap material for the electric furnace, BOF furnace and induction furnace for steel making.

• The process utilises ~100% waste materials to yield a value added product.
• This invention is useful for converting steel plant wastes fines / mining waste fines such as iron ore slime/fines, middling and rejected coal containing more than 25 % ash into a highly metallised (Metallisation > 96%) low Sulphur (0.006%S) DRI suitable for induction furnace, electric arc furnace and blast furnace for iron and steel making.
