TECHNICAL REPORT ONIMPACT OF IMPORTED COAL IN SPONGE IRON MAKING WITH HIS ASPECT

Abstract

In the present time diversified use of available energy resources other than the conventional, the use of imported coal which is have high calorific value and low ash coal may serve the purpose of long kiln campaign life of the Sponge iron Plant. The use of imported coal may not only be beneficial for the effective utilization of carbon in the kiln but also to increase productivity of the DRI Kiln as well. Such high Carbon coal’s char can be effectively used in the kiln as well in order to reduce the specific consumption of the coal. Due to scarcity of none coking coal and that too available for the power plant operations in India in order to cater the power requirement of the nation, use of such imported coal may be boon for the DRI industries.
