flexible metallic charge material, and the MIDREX Process can produce, discharge and transport DRI in the form best suited to the application.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="content"> <div

made by removing chemically-bound oxygen from iron oxide pellets and lump ores without melting.</h3> </div> <div class="content"> <p>Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is high in iron content and low in copper and other undesirable metals – tramp elements – and nitrogen content. It is used to make a broad range of steel products. Its physical and chemical characteristics make it desirable for use in the electric arc furnace (EAF), blast furnace (BF), and basic oxygen furnace (BOF).</p> <p><a href="https://www.midrex.com/direct-reduced-iron/forms-of-dri/" class="more " target="">Learn more about forms of DRI <svg><use xlink:href="/ui/svg/sprites.svg#icon_arrow-right"></use></svg></a></p> <p>MIDREX® Plants can be designed to switch from one DRI form to another with no disruption of product flow – cold DRI (CDRI) to hot briquetted iron (HBI), CDRI to hot DRI (HDRI), or HDRI to HBI. Products can be produced simultaneously in any combination.</p> <p>The ever-increasing call for the iron and steel industry to significantly reduce its carbon dioxide emissions is driving a surge in interest in direct reduction. The environmental benefit of natural gas-based DRI plants is well documented versus the coke-based production of metallic iron via the blast furnace. Now, the prospect of using 100% green hydrogen as the reducing gas for DRI production is regarded as the key to decarbonizing steelmaking.</p> <p><a href="https://www.midrex.com/direct-reduced-iron/uses-of-dri/" class="more " target="">Learn more about uses of DRI <svg><use xlink:href="/ui/svg/sprites.svg#icon_arrow-right"></use></svg></a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dri-chart"> <div class="wrap"> <div class="chart-body"> <div class="chart-row"> <div class="chart-label"> <h4>Raw Material</h4> </div> <div class="chart-content"> <div class="circle"> <div class="circle-photo" data-aos="zoom-in" style="background-image:url(https://www.midrex.com/wp-content/uploads/pellets.jpg)"></div> <h5> <span>Iron Ore Pellets</span> </h5> </div> <div class="spacer-line"></div> <div class="circle"> <div class="circle-photo" data-aos="zoom-in" style="background-image:url(https://www.midrex.com/wp-content/uploads/lump-ore-326x194.jpg)"></div> <h5> <span>Lump Ore</span> </h5> </div> </div> </div> <div class="chart-row row2"> <div class="chart-label"> <h4>Ironmaking</h4> </div> <div class="chart-content"> <div class="circle"> <div class="circle-photo" data-aos="zoom-in" style="background-image:url(https://www.midrex.com/wp-content/uploads/Tosyali-Algerie_cropped.jpg)"></div> <h5> <span>MIDREX Process<br>(Direct Reduction)</span> <i data-tooltip="MIDREX Flex® - Transition from natural gas to hydrogen direct reduction at your own pace MIDREX H2 - The Future of Ironmaking"></i> </h5> </div> </div> </div> <div class="chart-row"> <div class="chart-label none"></div> <div class="chart-content"> <div class="spacer-line-3prong"> <div class="center-line"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="chart-row"> <div class="chart-label"> <h4>DRI Products</h4> </div> <div class="chart-content"> <div class="circle"> <div class="circle-photo" data-aos="zoom-in" style="background-image:url(https://www.midrex.com/wp-content/uploads/CDRI-product.jpg)"></div> <h5> <span>CDRI</span> <i data-tooltip="CDRI is a high quality metallic ideal for use in a nearby EAF.
