DetailsWith the Circored process, Outotec provides an alternative process route for the reduction of iron ores, using hydrogen as the sole reductant and fine ore instead of pellets as feed material. Circored is currently the only process for iron ore direct reduction based on pure hydrogen and has proven its functionality and performance in an ...
DetailsOxidised pellets have become an indispensable high-quality charge for blast furnaces. Nevertheless, high-quality pellet feeds are becoming scarcer and scarcer. To broaden the range of sources of pellet feeds and reduce the production cost of pellets, more steel mills are predicted to use coarse iron ore fines with a relatively low iron grade and low impurities …
DetailsThe process is based on the extensive fluidized bed knowledge and experience developed and applied by Outotec over decades in hundreds of plants for different applications, including alumina calcination, roasting of sulfidic ores, and other special processes. Circored is the only hydrogen-based process for iron ore
DetailsThis process is known for its advantages such as high productivities, low investment costs, and environmental benefits, as it allows for the direct use of fine iron ore [8].
