Water and wax for low energy and non-polluted iron and steel industry
Oil rich countries now using natural gas as a source for
reducing gas production (H2=75% and C0=14%) for
the production of direct reduced iron (DRI) from iron oxide
ore. In this research a new source created which is pure
hydrogen > 99% obtained from electrolysis of water. The
size of hydrogen atom is much smaller than that of carbon
monoxide molecule, thus hydrogen could penetrate much
deeper into the crystal structure of the iron oxide resulting
in greater degree of metallization for the same time of
reduction. After reduction, hydrogen returns back to water,
thus no material consumed with hydrogen (closed circuit
process). Since huge quantity of hydrogen is needed to
reduce the iron oxide (e.g. to produce one million tons/year
DRI), so prolonged electrolysis of alkaline aqueous solution
is required; this will be accompanied by large quantity of
oxygen gas liberated at the anode electrode (430000 tons/
year) which is useful for industry and health purposes,
as well as production of about 108 tons/year heavy water
residue uses in nuclear Industry. The world production of
DRI is 75 million tons/year and continuously increases.
In the present DRI is comparatively new cargo that has
already presented problems when shipped in bulk with
its sponge - like structure is chemically reactive and easily
oxidized with liberation of heat and hydrogen. The author
has developed an efficient process for the treatment of DRI
known as Waxing Process makes the DRI resistant to both
oxidation, corrosion, ignition and stop iron dust formation.
Speaker Biography
Jaleel K Ahmed has expertise in evaluation in Iron and steel industry. He registered 3
patents in USA, UK and Iraq about using water in iron industry an wax for storage and
transportation DRI, and using wax for carburizing of steel. Also he used chlorophyll
as gamma ray absorber to protect Iraqi children from cancer. He also used the
mechanically red beet juice as scavenger for poisonous heavy metal ions and
anticancer and detoxification of urea and uric acid from human body via urine system.
