Reducing Iron Oxides without Carbon by using Hydrogen-Plasma

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

allization. Project ROC explores the physical and chemical foundations of these processes, down to atomistic scales, with a blend of instrumented laboratory furnaces, characterization, simulation and machine learning. Specific topics are the elementary nucleation, transport and transformation mechanisms, mixed scrap and ore charging, influence of contaminants from feedstock, plasma parameters, C-free electrodes, slag metallurgy and the role of nanostructure. Drastic reduction of CO2 is the biggest challenge of our time and project ROC explores how steelmaking can contribute to it by cutting its emissions by 80% and more. sustainable ironmaking, green metallurgy, green steel, metallurgy, reduction, CO2, sustainable metals, recycling, metallurgical processing, plasma reduction, metal physics, phase transformation
