Abstract

A thermodynamic model for the Corex process smelter gasifier focusing on coal pyrolysis as well as on the wustite reduction has been proposed. The compositions of hot metal, slag, and the export gas of the Corex process have been simulated satisfactorily for a given degree of metallization of directly reduced iron (DRI). The minimum coal rate is linked to the given degree of prereduction of DRI and the desired final silicon content in the hot metal.
