Introduction. Agricultural production and agro-industrial processing generate a high amount of byproducts and waste. Fruit byproducts such as bagasse, peels, trimmings, stems, shells, bran, and seeds account for more than 50% of fresh fruit and have at times a nutritional or functional content higher than the final product (Ayala et al., 2011).Fruit and …
The development of direct reduced iron (DRI) processes, such as the Midrex and HYL technologies, represents a shift towards alternative methods of iron production. These processes involve the direct reduction of iron ore using natural gas or hydrogen, producing high-purity iron that can be used in various applications, including steelmaking.
For years, the iron and steel industry has been in search of new processes for an efficient production of steel as well as for the recycling of its by-products, especially for those ...

Irpex lacteus, a versatile lignin-degrading fungus with various extracellular enzymes, has been widely used for biological pretreatment. However, most studies have focused on the change of substrate structure after biological pretreatment, and the effect of these changes on the enzymatic hydrolysis, but the effect of byproducts from biological …
The coke reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce carbon monoxide, which then reacts with the iron oxide in the ore to produce molten iron and carbon dioxide. The limestone …
Sodium ions passed through the membrane to the cathode, where they reacted with iron oxide, producing NaOH and high-purity metallic iron. The iron got plated on a copper collector as a solid film.
An important part of this production is destined to become juice and derivative products, such as cider, jams, vinegar and dried fruits. Consequently, large quantities of apple pomace are generated each year as agro-industrial byproducts as a result of the production process, which need to be disposed of [12,13].
Secondary aluminum production is required for the conservation of the environment. It can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption and reduce the consumption of alumina ...
Metallurgical coke is used in iron and steel industry processes (primarily in blast furnaces) to reduce iron ore to iron. Over 90 percent of the total coke production is dedicated to blast furnace operations. Foundry coke comprises most of the balance and is used by foundries in furnaces for melting metal and in the preparation of molds.
Objectives of TSIA Test. To differentiate Gram-negative enteric bacilli. To test the bacteria's ability to utilize glucose, lactose, and/or sucrose and produce H 2 S gas.; To differentiate lactose fermenters from non-lactose fermenters.
Significant quantities of byproducts are generated during the production of iron and steel. Slag is usually the largest in terms of volume but a range of particulate materials are recovered from the pollution control systems. Some steelmill byproducts have been recycled or recovered for many years but changes in the technologies …
2. Bacterial fermentation and production of SCFA. Many members of the intestinal microbiota are able to obtain carbon and energy from the fermentation of complex carbohydrates, which are indigestible by the human host .This process of fermentation leads to the production of SCFAs in the colon .The 3 major SCFAs produced by gut …
The byproducts (slag, hot gases) are used to make fertilizers, electricity (co-gen from waste heat), cement, paving materials, paint and blasting media.
What is Iron Ore? Iron ore refers to rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted economically. It typically contains iron oxides, and the primary types include hematite, magnetite, and taconite.. Status: India is self-sufficient in iron ore production. It contributes 7% to global production. India ranks as the 4th largest …
FACT SHEET ON BY-PRODUCTS. There are three main types of marketed ironmaking or BF slags, categorised by how they are cooled – air-cooled, granulated, and …
Bioenergetics and diversity of iron metabolism. Billions of years ago, microbial iron metabolisms probably drove the carbon cycle and catalyzed the global deposition of massive sedimentary ore deposits known as banded iron formations [1].Today, these microbial metabolisms remain highly relevant in a variety of environments, ranging from …
Iron processing - Smelting, Refining, Alloying: The primary objective of iron making is to release iron from chemical combination with oxygen, and, since the blast furnace is much the most efficient process, it receives the most attention here. Alternative methods known as direct reduction are used in over a score of countries, but less than 5 percent of iron …
EUGENE, Ore. — Feb. 5, 2024 — Using electrochemistry, University of Oregon researchers have developed a way to make iron metal for steel production without burning fossil fuels. The series of chemical reactions turns saltwater and iron oxide —cheap and abundant ingredients — into pure iron metal.
Iron ore-based steelmaking accounts for about 70% of world steel production. Iron ore is reduced to iron and then converted to steel. The main inputs are iron ore, coal, limestone and recycled (scrap) steel. The main ore-based production routes are: ironmaking via the blast furnace (BF) followed by steelmaking in the basic oxygen
The scad (Decapterus maruadsi) processing byproduct (SPB) was hydrolyzed by four commercial enzymes, namely, trypsin, flavourzyme, protamex and alcalase, for preparing high Iron-Binding Capacity (IBC) hydrolysate. Alcalase was the best choice for obtaining high IBC hydrolysate from SPB. Response surface methodology …
As we step into the 21st century, ironmaking continues to evolve with an emphasis on sustainability and technological innovation. The development of direct reduced iron …
