The perspective of hydrogen direct reduction of iron
WEBDec 1, 2023 · In BFI, the iron ore is reduced to iron through a chemical reaction with carbon monoxide generated from coke. Coke reacts with oxygen in the iron ore to produce carbon monoxide, which acts as the reducing agent to convert iron oxide into iron: Fe 2 O 3 + 3·CO → 2·Fe + 3·CO 2. BFI is a carbonintensive process.
