Sponge iron is a metallic product produced through the direct reduction of iron ore and/or iron ore pellets, with a typical metallic iron content ranging from 80-88%. The manufacturing process is carried out in a rotary kiln operating at controlled rotational speeds and temperatures. It serves as a key raw material in steel manufacturing and is commonly used as a substitute for steel scrap in steel melting operations.
Manufacturing Process: We use a combination of iron ore, non-coking coal, and dolomite in a rotary kiln to produce dust-free sponge iron.
Reduction Process: The reduction occurs in a solid state at temperatures between 850-1100°C. Coal is used both as a reductant and a heat source.
Quality Assurance: We adhere to strict standards to ensure each batch of sponge iron supports industry safety and efficiency.
