Electrolysis of iron ore has not been developed in the past because of the energetic balance and energy expenses. In addition, until now, its application in iron production has been hindered due to the difficulty in finding a suitable anode material capable of weathering the challenging conditions. The recent development of this process is …
اقرأ المزيدThe activity of the catalysts was maintained for extended periods up to 20 h in an alkaline environment without significant material degradation. The authors have shown that it is possible to convert iron ore into a very efficient catalyst for water electrolysis. In principle, the method is scalable to industrial volumes, due to the fact that ...

اقرأ المزيدThe efficiency of iron and steel production has always been decisive for producers to remain cost-competitive. It can be shown that the properties, cost and quality of iron ore are the most important factors that influence the overall efficiency of the subsequent iron- and steelmaking steps.
اقرأ المزيدTheir significance extends beyond the preservation of iron ore, encompassing operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental preservation. As industries continue to prioritize sustainability and responsible resource management, the role of iron stockpile sheds becomes increasingly pivotal in shaping a resilient and …
اقرأ المزيدThe recycling of steel offers numerous benefits to both the environment and the economy. Firstly, it reduces the need for raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, thereby conserving natural resources. This helps to preserve ecosystems and reduce the environmental impact associated with resource extraction.
اقرأ المزيدIn this way, this research aims to analyze the chronic effects of digestates from swine manure (SD) and swine manure with iron ore tailings as additive (SDIOT) on survival and reproduction of Enchytraeus crypticus. The fresh samples were collected from sequential batch processes conducted at mesophilic conditions.
اقرأ المزيدThe use of recycling in the manufacturing process of these metals has been a main driver of improvements in energy efficiency within the industry. Primary production, in which steel is made from iron ore and aluminum from bauxite ore, is energy intensive.
اقرأ المزيدThe chemical and mineral composition of iron tailings depends on the mineralogical properties of processed iron ore, the nature of processing fluids used, processing efficiency, and weathering degree . Iron tailings in China generally exhibit characteristics such as low grade, fine particle size, and susceptibility to mud formation.
اقرأ المزيدIndustry?", Global Efficiency Intelligence, 2019. Sustainable Steelmaking The American steel industry is the cleanest and most energy efficient of the leading steel industries in the world.
