Abstract

Sustainable development requires less energy consumption with lower carbon footprint. In this review the solid state reduction behaviour of three oxide ores using methane gas are briefly summarized based on experimental work conducted in our laboratories. The discussion concentrates mainly on mechanisms of the reduction studied through SEM-EDAX and X-ray diffraction techniques. Limited preliminary kinetic input is also mentioned. Iron ore containing titanium and vanadium could be reduced significantly in the solid state with methane-hydrogen mixture up to 400 °C lower than is needed in ordinary solid state carbothermic process. The reduction of chromite and manganese ores were possible similarly at lower temperatures with potential energy savings lower carbon footprint.
