Study on the kinetics of gas-solid based synergistic reduction of limonite carbon-containing pellets by Gao G.-F., Zhou X.-L., Shi Z., Liu L.-P.

“…The analysis of pellets by EPMA and XRD found that the pellets reduced in the N2 atmosphere had the lowest porosity, and the pellets reduced in the H2 atmosphere had the highest porosity, which was more conducive to gas diffusion. Some of the unreduced Si, Al, Mn, Ca, and Fe in the pellets reduced in the N2 atmosphere precipitated in the form of oxides, but when a reducing gas (CO, H2) was introduced, precipitation did not occur.…”
