Mass and energy analysis of composite pellet process

Composite pellet processes, such as ITmk3, are reported to have lower environmental emissions and increased energy efficiency compared to the blast furnace route. This paper proposes a mathematical model based on the mass and energy balance of the ITmk3 process following the basic principles of Rist diagrams. HSC Simulation has been used to calculate several process parameters such as the stoichiometric air requirement, air-preheating …
