Abstract
For over 12 years, Hydrocarbon Research Inc., has studied the direct reduction of iron ore fines with hydrogen in fluidized beds, operating at temperatures below 1000°F, and at pressures above 200 psig. In conjunction with Bethlehem Steel Co. a demonstration-scale direct-reduction plant has been put in operation in Trenton, N. J. Experience with this plant has provided information necessary for construction and operation of a commercial direct-reduction facility.
