(736d) Mitigation of CO2 Emissions Via Direct FeCO3 Reduction with Hydrogen
Authors
We tested different gas compositions emulating coker gas in a bench scale fixed bed reactor. The main focus was placed on the methane content in the coker gas (15-25%). We found that methane in combination with hydrogen does not limit the reducing ability of hydrogen for siderite reduction; it is slightly reactive on its own. This means coker gas is a possible hydrogen source for the direct reduction of siderite.
