Methane gas can reduce iron oxide to iron metal. This process was first tried and tested in Mexico by the method of HYLSA Hojalata y Lamina Sociedad Anonima. Now the process is used in the plant Lazaro 'Cardenas Mexico to produce direct reduced iron ore to iron sponge.

Why is blast furnace waste gas mainly nitrogen?

Blast furnace waste gas is mainly nitrogen because nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere and is used as the primary gas for the blast furnace process. During the process, the injected air reacts with the fuel and iron ore to form nitrogen-rich waste gas.


What is the actual reducing agent of haematite in blast furnace?

The reducing agent for hematite in a blast furnace is carbon monoxide (CO) gas, which is produced by the combustion of coke (carbon) at high temperatures. CO reacts with iron oxide (Fe2O3) to form iron metal and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This reduction process is essential for extracting iron from hematite ore.

How is DRI superiour to blast furnace iron?

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is considered superior to blast furnace iron because it is produced through a process that involves reducing iron ore without melting it, resulting in a purer form of iron with lower impurities. DRI also has higher iron content and can be produced using natural gas, making it more environmentally friendly compared to blast furnace iron production. Additionally, DRI can be used in electric arc furnaces, providing more flexibility in steelmaking processes.
