Life cycle assessment (LCA) of the mining and mineral processing of iron ore in Australia was carried out in this chapter using SimaPro LCA software as a case study. The environmental impacts considered in the study were embodied energy and greenhouse gas (GHG ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The HIsarna ironmaking process is a direct reduced iron process for iron making in which iron ore is processed almost directly into liquid iron ().The process combines two process units, the Cyclone Converter Furnace (CCF) for ore melting and prereduction and a Smelting Reduction Vessel (SRV) where the final reduction stage to liquid iron takes place.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Once the iron ore is mined, it must still go through a process to extract the iron from the ore. So the ore is taken to a foundry where it is first crushed and washed. Then it is put into a blast furnace, where iron is smelted. Smelting is the process of extracting the iron from the ore and melting it down to form a hot liquid known as molten iron.
