Direct reduced iron (DRI) is the product which is produced by the direct reduction of iron ore or other iron bearing materials in the solid state by using noncoking coal or natural gas. Processes which produce DRI by reduction of iron ore below the melting point of the iron are normally known as the direct reduction (DR) processes.

Abstract A mathematical model of direct reduction in an iron orecoal char composite pellet is presented. The model incorporates heat transfer, devolatilisation, pellet size change, and three reduction steps (hematite to magnetite, magnetite to wustite, wustite to iron) as well as carbon consumption during the reduction. The model predictions are in good agreement with experimental data. The ...
