This is a major technological breakthrough in the field of Iron Ore Redution.The ores which are rich in iron oxides are systematically loaded along with coal in Silicon Carbide(SiC) containers. These containers are passed throuhg a heating zone enabling the oxides to reduce to metallic iron.
This major breakthrough ensures no pollution which is a major constrain in the steel making process of reduction of iron ore these days. Further it is a continous process with no agglomeration threat. The carbon content in the final product is high making the properties close to scrap, thus facilitating easy melting in the Induction Furnace.
The main feature of the process is utilization of Iron ore fines and reducing them and further making a briquette with density over 4g/cc.
