The rate of oxidation of sponge Iron pellets briqette and their Physical and chemical properties

Abstract

To understand the rate of oxidation
of sponge irons and its mechanisim, their
physical and chemical properties
are normally required. In this report
attempt has been made to show the results
of research on varius pellets and
briqutts produced at Ahwaz Steel complex.
In presenting these data, the
rate of oxidation of these articles
in air between 300 and 600 °c is also
quotted and analysed. In addition the
theoretical basis of oxidation mechanisim
of sponge Iron pellets and briqutts
is explained.
