Sponge Iron - Coal Based Direct Reduced Iron | High Purity, Solid State Metal Substitute For Steel Melting

Fostered with immense years of industry experience, we are involved in manufacturing and supplying of Sponge Iron in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Coal based Sponge-iron is a metallic product produced through direct reduction of iron ore in the solid state .As such it is also known as Direct Reduced Iron (DRI). Iron Ore Pellet is used for reduction. After reduction of iron ore pellet the product resembles sponge because of pores left behind after removal of oxygen. As such it is called Sponge Iron. Sponge Iron is a substitute of scrap in steel melting. Although the reduction in the kiln is not direct, the CO gas reduces the impurities and oxides of hematite and the resultant DRI is in the solid form, this process is known as Direct Reduction Process. Coal based DRI process is mainly preferred on account of better non contaminated Iron (Fe) for steel making instead of facing crisis of good quality scrap , international/national demand of solid metallic, availability of large reserves of iron ore & non-coking coal in India.
