15 15  HGC generated larger tar than other fuels which was essential for CVI process.  High amount of tar initiated large tar decomposition to produce gas product and deposited carbon within iron ore The total carbon yield was depend on the composition of original fuels.

16 Tar decomposition Tar product distribution 16  At constant pyrolysis temperature, the maximum carbon content was obtained at tar decomposition of 600 o C.  At high temperature, deposited carbon decreased due to high tar activity and carbon gasification to produce larger gas product Highest deposition Unreacted tar

17  A higher temperature resulted in a large reduction degree because of indirect reduction of CO and fast reduction rate.  FeO was found at high temperature; this is consistent with the phase diagram. (b) (a) Tar decomposition 17

18 Tar decomposition 18 Smallest carbon deposition but largest deceasing of surface are and pore distribution, why??  The amount of carbon deposition should be proportional with the decreasing of surface area and pore size distribution.  The melting point of the iron ore (Fe 2 O 3 ) was 1733 K(=1460 o C) Sintering process [14] HSC chemistry 7.0; [15] Canovaa, IC. et.al.

20 Reactivity of CVI ore  The carbonized ore was also useful and effective in the reduction reaction which was indicated by decreasing of carbon content during reduction reaction  The XRD result confirmed that the reduction reaction was started at 750 - 900 o C Reduction of Fe 3 O 4 to FeO was started 20

21 Reactivity of CVI ore Transforming of iron compound in each experiment steps The final product of CVI ore can be sent directly to blast furnace and sintering machine Tar decomposition Direct reduction at 21

22 Conclusions  The highest deposited carbon was obtained at tar decomposition temperature of 600 o C.  At elevated temperature, the amount of deposited carbon decreased due to carbon gasification.  At tar decomposition temperature of 800 o C, the FeO was found but the sintering phenomena was started  The deposited carbon within iron ore showed promising candidate as good reducing agent due to higher reactivity and lower reduction temperature.  The reactivity of carbon-deposited ore increased because carbon deposited within iron pores and caused nanoscale contact between the iron ore and carbon. 22
