@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/13444, title = {Numerical Simulation of Iron Ore Reactor Isobaric and Cooling zone to Investigate Total Carbon Formation in Sponge Iron}, author = {B. Alamsari and S. Torii and A. Trianto and Y. Bindar}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Isobaric and cooling zone of iron ore reactor have been simulated. In this paper, heat and mass transfer equation are formulated to perform the temperature and concentration of gas and solid phase respectively. Temperature profile for isobaric zone is simulated on the range temperature of 873-1163K while cooling zone is simulated on the range temperature of 733-1139K. The simulation results have a good agreement with the plant data. Total carbon formation in the isobaric zone is only 30% of total carbon contained in the sponge iron product. The formation of Fe3C in isobaric zone reduces metallization degree up to 0.58% whereas reduction of metallization degree in cooling zone up to 1.139%. The decreasing of sponge iron temperature in the isobaric and cooling zone is around 300 K and 600 K respectively.}, journal = {International Journal of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering}, volume = {3}, number = {5}, year = {2009}, pages = {232 - 236}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/13444}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/29}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 29, 2009}, }
