Production of green steel from low-grade ores: An end-to-end techno-economic assessment by Alireza Rahbari, M. Shahabuddin, Shabnam Sabah, Geoffrey Brooks, John Pye

“…Science for society: Hydrogen ironmaking is a compelling option for eliminating ∼7% of global emissions arising from iron and steel production. Beyond the high cost of renewable energy, a further challenge persists regarding the removal of impurities, which requires either high-grade ore, extensive ore “beneficiation” processes, or costly fluxing to remove impurities in molten phase. …”

A numerical model for duricrust formation by water table fluctuations by C. Fenske, C. Fenske, J. Braun, J. Braun, F. Guillocheau, C. Robin

“…Two main hypotheses have been proposed for the formation of duricrusts; i.e. the hydrological or transported model, where the enrichment in the hardening element (iron for ferricretes, silica for silcretes, or calcium carbonates for calcretes) is the product of leaching and precipitation through fluctuations in the water table during contrasted seasonal cycles, and the laterization or in situ model, where the formation of duricrusts is the final compacting stage of laterization.…”
