Unit 5  New Developments in Iron Making Part I Reading and Comprehensiontextpractice part II Translation skills During the past century, many efforts were made to develop processes for producing iron for steelmaking that could serve as alternatives to the conventional blast furnace. This chapter presents a review of the alternative processes that have achieved some measure of commercial success. 1.Direct reduction technology In the history of iron and steelmaking technology, the first process is the direct reduction process. The blast furnace takes the place of the direct reduction process, which is the great improvement in the metallurgical technology. With the development of iron and steel industry, coke, on which blast furnace have depended for over 200 years, is becoming more expensive every year, and supplies of suitable coking coals are becoming scarcer. The direct reduction process was brought back at the end of the eighteenth century. Today, technology that produce iron by reduction of iron ore below the melting point of the iron produced is generally classified as direct reduction processes and the products referred to as direct reduced iron (DRI).According to the reducing agents used, direct reduction technology is commonly classed into two types: gas reduction processes and reduction processes with solid reducing agents. The largest portion of the top gas is recompressed, enriched with natural gas, preheated to about 400℃, and piped into the Fig 5-1 Midrex process reformer tubes. In the catalyst tubes, the gas mixture is reformed to carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The hot reformed gas is then recycled to the DR furnace. 5.What are the main components of the Midrex processes ?6.What is the outcome of all direct reduction techniques ?7.How many main groups can smelting reduction technology be subdivided into ?
