“…[9][10][11] Reduction process of iron oxides by hydrogen has been widely investigated by numerous researchers. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] EL-GEASS et al 12) found that reduction rate of iron oxide compacts was greater for H 2 reduction and lower for CO reduction, while using gas mixtures showed intermediate rate values with 50%CO-H 2 reduction faster than that of reformed natural gas. Costa et al 13) studied reduction of iron ore by pure hydrogen using small haematite cubes shaped from industrial pellets.…”
