Sponge Iron Plant

The production process of sponge iron involves four steps namely:

i. Raw material preparation plant: The raw material preparation plant consists of

crushers and screens through which the seized material required for process is

prepared. Normally, jaw crushers are used for iron ore crushing and roll or impact



crushers for coal. The feeding for the crushers are done through the conveyors and

vibrating feeders.

ii. Stock house: The stock house consists of the raw material storage bins; which store

material up to 24 hours plant requirement. There are four bins one each for iron ore,

feed coal, dolomite and injection coal. The raw materials are fed into a rotary kiln

through the volumetric/weigh feeders at a predetermined rate.

iii. Reduction kiln: The processing of the materials consists mainly of kiln and cooler

system. The iron ore is pre-heated and reduced in a rotary kiln and passes to the

rotary cooler; where it gets cooled. The cooled material is then passes to the belt

conveyor; where the cooler discharge is fed to the product house conveyor. The

material is then led to the product separation circuit. An intermediate bin is provided

to take care of any eventualities occurring due to breakdown of the product

separation circuit.

iv. Product separation plant: In the product separation section, the sponge iron and the

coal-char (un-burnt coal) are separated. The cooler discharge material is screened to

different sizes, and fed into magnetic separator. The sponge iron is magnetic and

hence, it gets attracted to the magnet present in the magnetic separator and is

discharged to separate bins the dust in the hot gases settles and gets cleaned.

Operation of Rotary Kiln and Cooler:

Rotary Kiln: Rotary kiln is 3.0 m in diameter and 42 m long; and it is positioned inclined at

an angle of 1.432o approximately. It is rotated by AC variable speed motor at a stem less

variable speed ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 RPM. Due to the inclination and the rotary motion in

kiln; the material moves from the feed end of the kiln to the discharge end in approximately

4.5 hours. The fine coal is blown from the discharge end to maintain the required

temperature profile. The material and the hot gases move in the counter current direction.

As a result, the iron ore gets preheated and gradually reduces by the time it reaches

discharge end. The reduced material is then transferred to the rotary cooler via transfer

chute.

Rotary Cooler: The rotary cooler is 2.3 in diameter and 22 m in length. It is also inclined at

1.432o approximately. It rotates at 1.2 RPM. It is driven by AC motor. The water is sprayed

on top of shell; which cools the material inside the cooler indirectly. The material reaches



80oC temperatures approximately; and discharged by the double pendulum valve to the

conveyor. The double pendulum valve actually acts as a seal for prevention of atmospheric

air entering the rotary cooler. The material discharged on conveyor is then sent for product

separation system. Here, the material is segregated in different sizes and also magnetic

sponge iron is separated from non-magnetic char.

The gases flowing into counter current direction gets to the dust-settling chamber and

heavier particles settles down. These particles are continuously removed by the wet

scrubbing system. The gases then pass to the Forced Draft (FD) Cooler; where the gases

are cooled. The gases leaving the kiln are very hot and have a lot of heat energy. The gases

are then passed through Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) for dust concentration to reduce

below the acceptable norms and discharged to the atmosphere through stack of adequate

height.

Figure 3: Sponge Iron Manufacturing Flow Diagram

Waste Heat Recovery Boiler System

The waste heat recovery boilers are designed to operate only with the thermal energy in the

waste gases from the rotary kilns and these boilers do not need any supplementary or

auxiliary firing. There is no fuel usage in the waste heat recovery boilers. The waste gases



from After Burning Chamber (ABC) of Sponge Iron Kilns will be conveyed to the waste heat

boilers through gas ducts. Proper refractory lining shall be given for the ducting as the

gases will be coming at high temperature in the range of 950–975oC

Alloy Steel Product

Induction arc Furnace

The induction arc furnace is the principle furnace type for the production of the Alloy Steels.

The primary application of the furnace is for the re-melting of the steel scrap or sponge iron.

Furnace Operations:

The induction arc furnace operates as a batch melting process producing batches of molten

steel known “heats”. The furnace operating cycle is called the tap-to-tap cycle and is made

up of the following operations:

• Furnace charging

• Melting

• Refining

• De-slagging

• Tapping

• Furnace turn-around

Charging:

The charging material consisting of steel scrap & additives is loaded into the furnace in such

a way that large and high melting pieces stand parallel close to crucible while low melting

Components in the middle of the crucible.

Melting:

At the beginning of melting the furnace works for 5 to 10 minutes on low power until the

surge of current fed from the generator disappear. The furnace power is then brought up to

a maximum. The charge melts with the crucible held closed. When the charge approaches

the fluid stages than the solid pieces are pressed back with a crow bar. The furnace is then

loaded to its capacity by adding small size of scrap as soon as the charge melted. The slag

is formed to protect the metal from oxidation and to avoid reduce the melting loss. Excess

slag is skimmed off periodically. At the last, Ferro Manganese, Silicon Manganese & Ferro

Silicon is added to deoxidize the metal.



Ladle Refining Furnace:

Ladle refining furnace (LRFs) are used to desulfurize steels, remove other impurities and

hold the molten steel for casting operations. Without LRFs, higher tap temperatures are

normally required from steel making furnaces due to heat losses during refining during

conventional ladles. Costs of extended furnace time, refractory wear and power or fuel

consumption can all be reduced using LRFs to perform holding and refining. The ladle

refining furnace also acts as a buffer between the steel making furnace and continuous

caster, reducing casting costs and allowing greater flexibility in steel making operations.

Ladle Refining Process:

Large ladles are used in most metal melting operations to transfer molten metal from

melting furnaces to refining or pouring stations. Ladle refining furnaces are basically ladles

with a heating source and lid. LRFs are used to reheat or maintain steel tapped from a steel

making furnace to a precise temperature and or refine it to exact chemical specifications.

Refining is performed by adding chemicals to remove impurities, adding ingredients which

enhance strength, and homogenizing the molten steel to achieve uniform characteristics.

LRFs provide an ideal reining station with precise temperature control, stirring action for

homogeneity, and ports for alloy addition and slag removal. Reheating steel in a ladle

refining furnace is typically accomplished by electric arc heating.

notification no. S.O 3067 (E) dated 1st December 2009,which require prior Environmental

Clearance before starting construction, production or any other allied activities related to

the project. For getting the Environmental Clearance; it is required to carry out the

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.

Definition of EIA

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a formal process used to predict how industrial

development or construction project will affect natural resources such as water, air, land,

socioeconomic and bio ecological environment.

An EIA usually involves a sequence of steps:

(1) Screening to decide if a project requires assessment and to what level of detail.

(2) Preliminary assessment to identify key impacts, their magnitude, significance, and

importance.

(3) Scoping to ensure the EIA focuses on key issues and to determine, where more detailed

information is needed.

(4) Implementing the main EIA study, which involves detailed investigations to predict

impacts, assess their consequences, or both.

Methodology

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies include identification, assessment,

quantitative evaluation and prediction of possible impacts. To minimize the impact of the



project on various environmental attributes, mitigation measures are suggested for

implementation along with the project.

The methodology of this study can be schematized as detailed below:

To gather information on present environmental conditions and relevant national

environmental guidelines and EIA procedures.

Scoping of impacts.

Assessment of significant impacts.

Description of residual impacts.

Development of monitoring plans.

To inform all relevant and involved authorities regarding the impact of the project on

the environment and the proposed mitigation measures.
