In steelmaking complexes with the technology of direct reduction and electric arc furnaces (EAF), there are many times in the production calendar showing that the reduction unit was in production but the steelmaking unit was not ready to accept the sponge iron. Thus, a large mismatch in both units production capacity was created.
Therefore, adopting an efficient method for sponge iron safe and low-cost storage and transportation with the lowest loss of metal degree can have significant effects and prevent major losses.
Among the processes to protect sponge iron, briquetting is the most effective way to reduce the oxidation rate during storage and transportation.
And a number of iron and steel specialists in Iran have introduced cold briquetting of Pellet Sponge Iron-process to produce an easy-to-transport product which was called Cold Briquetted Iron and Carbon (CBIC) in 2013.
Careful!
Cold-molded briquettes produced from fines and by-products that generated during the process of production, storage, and handling of DRI are known as “Cold Briquetted Iron (CBI)”.
But, CBIC is a new product derived from densification of Pellet Sponge Iron at ambient temperature.
Nowadays, CBIC native production technology has reached a maturity level with mass production. Feedback from the customers indicates that the presence of CBIC in the steel furnace has had significant effects on electrical energy consumption, melting time, melting, and production efficiency.
