Sponge Iron, Brand Prakash

To make its mark within the sector prakash industries ltd has ventured into activities that have led the company transform into a cohesive steel and power producing unit. For this, Prakash industries ltd setup sponge iron kilns at champa chattisgarh in technical collaboration with lurgi germany. Quality serves as the essence of every activity at prakash industries ltd. Besides emphasis on supply of quality products, Prakash industries ltd has always looked forward to maximize the application of its resources. These are the measures that have helped the company move at faster growth rate with significant reduction in the financial outlay of production. Being an integrated steel and the firm, Power company features used the high quality sponge iron manufactured in the sponge iron kilns for its internal consumption in its own steel plant. This not only enables cost effective manufacturing of steel but also ensures consistent availability of Premium unprocessed substance for its finished steel products. The production of sponge iron entails the de, Oxidisation composed of superior-grade iron ore through the direct reduction. Direct reduction is a process by which metallic iron is developed utilizing the reduction of iron ore below the melting temperature of iron. The production technology of dri has two distinct routes. Sponge iron is an exceptionally processed form of iron ore which contains metallic iron across the variety of 83, 88% obtained by direct reduction without melting it. Due to high porosity, The resulting iron is called sponge iron. It functions as a means to functioning as an essential ingredient in manufacturing steel through electrical arc furnace and the induction furnace routes. Considering the situation where large quantity scrap required for manufacturing steel and supply of which sponge iron, Is irregular is a substitute offering regularity in supplies and quality. In india, Generally, The solid reduction process is intended to in areas, Producing dri, In particular where natural gas is not easily available and where coal is easily available. In the solid reduction process iron ore is converted into dri in a rotary kiln fired by non, Coking coal. Coal and, Iron ore dolomite in pre, Measured quantities are fed into which is, The kiln rotated at a speed of about 0. 5 rpm. A temperature of 1, 000 to 1, 050 degrees is maintained through 70% of the kiln length towards the discharge end side for required reduction. The non, Discharge final stage of the kiln i. E. 30% is the where the, Preheat zone material is heated to 850 degrees. The rotating kiln functions as a heat exchanger, A chemical reactor and conveyor of solids. The inner face of the kiln is lined with castables. Air required for burning of the combustibles and for preserving the desired temperature profile is introduced through air tubes provided at certain intervals along the measurements of the kiln. These air tubes are associated with individual shell mounted secondary air blowers and air is supplied inside the kiln through submerged air nozzles through secondary blowers. The hot product discharged from the kiln is indirectly cooled in a rotary cooler by spraying water on the shell of the cooler. The discharge from the cooler is conveyed through a belt conveyor screened and magnetically separated. Sponge iron and non, Magnetic components are separated and stored in separate bins for further transfer.
