| Abstract Scope |
Hydrogen plasma reduction offers a vital zero-carbon alternative to current ironmaking technologies. This study presents a 2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of a laboratory setup designed to simulate the reduction kinetics between hydrogen and iron ore fines. Utilizing a multiphase framework, the simulation models a single plasma applicator impinging microwave-generated hydrogen plasma onto an ore sample. The primary objective is to derive precise reaction kinetics under varying parameters to validate physics observed in published research conducted at laboratory scale. The validated kinetics are intended for subsequent integration into a larger rotary kiln simulation involving continuous ore fines flow. By investigating reduction efficiency and gas utilization at the patch scale, this work aims to support the development of a model for a scalable, low-emission ironmaking process. |
