7TH EUROPEAN COKE AND IRONMAKING CONGRESS - ECIC 2016

The steelmaking is based on the use of hot metal and scrap, whereas hot metal is produced by the reduction of iron ores mainly in today’s dominating technology, the blast furnace route. Beside the blast furnace, raw material preparation in the form of coke-making and agglomeration of fine ore in the sintering plant is required. The innovative process concept of FINEX® offers an alternative...

The COREX® process is beside the FINEX® technology the only industrially realized alternative to the blast furnace route for the production of hot metal. Changes in the raw material sector in respect of decrease in quality, strictly enforced environmental laws, minimization of CO2 emissions and positive operation results of COREX® reference plants make it worth to carefully re-evaluate the...

Advanced iron-making process, called FINEX, is known as an innovative iron making process which has better cost competitiveness and environment-friendly compared to typical Blast furnace process. FINEX demands high performance taphole clay quality rather than blast furnace due to its high tapping speed and high pressure in the furnace. To satisfy its requirements numerous experiments have been...
