Abstract
ABSTRACT To meet the global demand for energy, biochar can be a substitute and a green source of energy for fossil fuels and their derivatives. Biochar has its own supremacy to meet the requirements of the energy sector and replace coking coal for metallurgical purposes, and the mitigation of CO2 emissions from the Iron and Steel industry. This study includes the characterisation and comparative study of the reduction of iron ore pellets and iron ore fines using saw dust char (SDC) as one of the biomass wastes. The results show that the reduction of iron ore fines with comparable ratios with SDC gives the maximum degree of reduction than that of iron ore pellets. Thus, SDC can play an important role in the premium quality of coking coal reserves.
期刊介绍:
Engineering and sustainable development are intrinsically linked. All capital plant and every consumable product depends on an engineering input through design, manufacture and operation, if not for the product itself then for the equipment required to process and transport the raw materials and the final product. Many aspects of sustainable development depend directly on appropriate and timely actions by engineers. Engineering is an extended process of analysis, synthesis, evaluation and execution and, therefore, it is argued that engineers must be involved from the outset of any proposal to develop sustainable solutions. Engineering embraces many disciplines and truly sustainable solutions are usually inter-disciplinary in nature.
