The Effects of Gas Composition, Gas Flow Rate and Reaction Temperature on the Reduction Behaviour of Fixed Beds of Hematite Pellets

Abstract

<p> An Experimental investigation has been conducted to determine the effects on degree of reduction and efficiency of utilization of gases of changes in the levels of several variables when reducing fixed beds of commercial hematite pellets. The effects on reduction behaviour of changes in the levels of reducing gas composition and flow rate, and reaction temperature, were determined by graphical and numerical techniques.</p>
