This paper provides a critical review on the current status and potential of biomass utilization
in ferrous metallurgical processes, ie, the blast furnace (BF)–basic oxygen furnace (BOF) …

Numerous innovative low-carbon ironmaking technologies rely on the use of a high-
temperature, highly reducing gas, with examples including the gas-based direct reduction …

Low-grade natural iron ore, limonite, is proposed as an inexpensive catalyst to increase the
light liquid production from coal pyrolysis. Experiments were conducted at a pyrolyzer …

Hydrogen-rich gas production from catalytic steam gasification of coal was investigated in
the presence of iron ore in a vertical fixed bed reactor. The addition of iron ore significantly …

Deposited carbon within low-grade iron ore which was produced using integrated coal
pyrolysis and tar decomposition showed high reactivity as a reducing agent. However …

This study optimizes the dehydration temperature of goethite to control pore morphology.
The pore morphology was characterized by using transmission electron microscopy and the …

Carbon deposited by tar decomposition within pores of iron ore exhibited a high reactivity
during the reduction reaction. The structure of porous low-grade ore was investigated in …

Lignite pretreated by H 2 O 2 was degraded by microorganisms in anaerobic activated
sludge to produce methane, and the microorganisms were analyzed by high-throughput …

Low-grade iron ore with high combined water (CW) content (eg, goethite) has been first
dehydrated at low temperatures mildly to be slit-shaped nano-order pore, then has been …

One problem associated with ironmaking is the depletion of carbonaceous material (eg,
coal) for iron reduction. A combination of coal and biomass (coal–biomass co-pyrolysis) …
