DRI - Direct Reduced Iron

• The Iron Ore is exposed to reducing gasses at 1100 degrees Celsius for a period of 8hrs.

• The Fe2O3 is reduced to Fe by means of reducing gases generated from Coal

• The reduction process is as follows

3Fe2O3 + CO  - 2Fe3O4 + CO2

Fe3O4 + CO  -  3FeO + CO2

FeO + CO2  -  Fe + CO2

• The DRI or Sponge Iron is cost effective to produce and replaces Pig Iron in the secondary process of manufacturing steel in typical Electric Arc Furnaces.

​

Fe 98%

• Some of the DRI produced are in the form of fines. These DRI Fines are not suitable for use in the EAF.

• RoC Minerals developed a process where the DRI Fines are processed into High Concentration Fe Ingots that is the perfect metallurgic “Blank Canvas” for iron and steel producers.

• Premium Fe Alloys can now be produced without the tramp elements captured in Scrap Metals.

• Fe 98 can be tailor made into the exact alloy required by Steel Mills and Foundries.

• Ingot shapes and sizes can be according to the requirement of the Mill or Foundry to ensure swift processing and melting.
