The production of steel through the reduction of iron ores is increasing globally. An innovative reduction model based on 3D diffusion equation was developed to account for irregular particle shapes and 3D systems. The model was validated by reproducing experimental conditions and comparing the quantified effective diffusivity and chemical reaction rate constant using the shrinking core model.
The production of steel, which is achieved by the reduction of iron ores mainly through indirect reduction reactions in a blast furnace, is gradually increasing worldwide. Because the reducing gas diffuses threedimensionally, irregular particle shapes influence the reduction through differences in the diffusion length. The analysis of actual irregularly shaped iron-ore particles using existing models is difficult because they are primarily effective for 1D systems. Therefore, a novel reduction model based on the 3D diffusion equation that accommodates irregular particle shapes and 3D systems was developed in this study. The established model was validated by reproducing experimental conditions and comparing the quantified effective diffusivity and chemical reaction rate constant using the shrinking core model. In addition, the model was used to investigate the reducing behavior of an actual sintered-ore particle and the effects of particle sphericity and macro pore content. The sintered-ore particle had a higher reduction rate than that of a spherical equivalent with the same volume because sections of the surface with shorter diffusion lengths facilitated the gas diffusion. Additionally, the particle sphericity was determined to be inversely proportional to the reduction rate because the rate of gas diffusion into the particle
