Abstract:
The reduction of greenhouse gas emission is an important issue for steel industry. One possibility is to use biomass-based reducing agents, also called bioreducers, to replace a least partly the fossil reducer agents. To produce bioreducer we treated woody biomass in a lab-scale muffle furnace, we performed grinding experiments with a ball mill, we analyzed the particle size distribution with laser diffraction and we used a rotating device, the revolution powder analyzer, for flow behavior investigations. Our preliminary results show that treatment temperatures >250 oC bring adequate increased calorific value and improved grindability. For a certain treatment temperature the particle size distribution and as well the flow behavior shows similarities to lignite.
