Evaluation of concentrated solar thermal energy for iron ore agglomeration
Abstract
The iron and steelmaking industry is actively seeking to reduce its overall carbon footprint with major research and investment directed towards fossil fuel-free steelmaking. In this paper, we present a novel iron ore agglomeration process that produces a Lime Magnetite Pellet (LMP) feed using concentrated solar flux as the energy source that significantly reduces the CO2 emissions compared to existing pellet making processes. The process has …
