COALS FOR COREX PROCESS dr kalyan sen, Director Central Fuel Research Institute, P.O. FRI, Dhanbad 828108 COREX 2000
IRON ORE: proven 13460 Mt Resource BIHAR, ORISSA, M.P, KARNATAKA and GOA • Reserves, Bt • Haematite - 9.6 • Magnetite - 3.1 COREX 2000
WHY NOT COKE-OVEN BF ROUTE ? • High cost involvement • Stringent specifications of raw materials • not eco-friendly COREX 2000
SR PROCESS • COREX (Voest Alpine, Australia ) • HISMELT (Hismelt Corpn., Australia) • DIOS ( JISF, Japan) • AISI (DOE, USA) • ROMELT (Moscow Inst. Steel & Alloy, Russia) COREX 2000
WHY COREX PROCESS • Flexibility in raw materials • medium to low grade iron ore • iron waste & scraps • non-coking/ LVC coals • Less sensitive to physico-chemical characteristics of coal • Eco-friendly • Low capacity, low investment cost COREX 2000
QUALITY PARAMETERS for COREX PROCESS Preferred limit, % FC > 55 VM <20 increse less Gasifn. Temp., low FC high heat demand, soot Moist 5-7increaseless Gasifn. Temp., difficulty in flow of coal Ash <20reducehigh FC low coal rate, less slag low Si - level COREX 2000

REMARKS THE PROCESS EXHIBITS A POSITIVE PROFILE UNDER INDIAN CONTEXT HOWEVER, DETAILED STUDIES ON IDENTIFICATION OF SUITABLE SOURCES AND CHOICE OF WASHING STRATEGY IS NECESSARY COREX 2000
