Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2288095A1] The present invention provides a method for producing direct reduced iron in a continuous and efficient fashion, which includes providing a mixture of a particulate iron oxide composition and a particulate carbonaceous reductant composition; the mixture being substantially unagglomerated and having a moisture content of less than about 14 % water by weight; positioning the mixture onto a rotary hearth furnace; subjecting the mixture to reducing conditions to reduce a substantial portion of the iron oxide, thereby producing sponge iron; and discharging the sponge iron from the rotary hearth furnace.
