Preparation and use of lignite-iron ore composite briquettes for ironmaking

褐煤-铁矿复合型煤的制备与应用。本项目旨在研究细粉的成型工艺，以及新型褐煤（褐煤）-铁矿石复合型煤在高炉上的制备和利用。褐煤是一种低成本、储量丰富的资源，可用于新型低成本炼铁的碳-铁矿石复合型煤。该项目将进行多尺度数值研究，并辅以实验室/工业规模的实验，以产生模型和控制策略。预期的结果包括更好地设计和控制型煤的制备和炼铁利用，以进一步降低成本；褐煤的新市场；以及更具竞争力的澳大利亚经济。

Preparation and use of lignite-iron ore composite briquettes for ironmaking. This project aims to study the briquetting processes of fine powders, and the preparation and utilization of new brown coal (lignite)–iron ore composite briquettes in a blast furnace. Lignite is a low-cost and abundant resource, and could be used in an emerging carbon-iron ore composite briquette for low-cost ironmaking. This project will perform multi-scale numerical studies, supported by lab/industry-scale experiments, to produce models and control strategies. Anticipated outcomes include better design and control of briquette's preparation and utilization in ironmaking for further cost-cutting; a new market for brown coal; and a more competitive Australian economy.
