Characters of Energy Consumption of COREX 3000 Smelting Reduction Process

The COREX smelting reduction iron making technology has been known as an advanced technology of metallurgical industry presently due to its use of non-coke coal.This process can shorten the production route; greatly lighten environment pollution;get good quality hot metal comparable with the BF and use the offgas for production of sponge iron or generation electricity.On the base of the balance of materiel and energy,this paper analyzes characters of energy consumption of the COREX process and points out the direction of lowering energy consumption of the COREX process.
