Behavior of Extrusion Briquettes (Brex) in Midrex Reactors. Part 1

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

Results are presented from cage tests of the metallization of extrusion briquettes (brex) in an industrial Midrex reactor. The brex are made by the stiff vacuum extrusion of dispersed iron-bearing waste products with the use of different binder materials. The structures of the initial and metallized brex were studied on the basis of data obtained by optical and electron microscopy. The degree of metallization was 90.92–96.65% for brex made with the use of different binders in different amounts.
