COREX (Coal-Reduction-Extreme) smelting reduction process provides a sustainable developing way for ironmaking industry, but the sources of iron ore materials restrict its development in China. Meanwhile, the application of sinter, which is marked by low manufacture cost and overcapacity in China, to COREX furnace faced proportion limitation due to its worse low temperature reduction degradation performance. This work explored the influence of MgO content on the low-temperature (550 °C) reduction of sinter in reducing conditions simulating COREX shaft furnace. The mineralogical change of sinter containing different content of MgO before and after reduction was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy for revealing the action mechanism of MgO on the low-temperature-reduction of sinter. The results show that increasing MgO (1.36–3.10%) improved the low temperature reduction degradation performance of sinter, and decreased its reduction degree and reduction rate at low temperature. More MgO the sinter contained, less Fe2O3 and SFCA was observed in sinter. Meantime, less Fe2O3 was reduced and the generation of innerstress was restrained during reduction process. The improved RDI (reduction degradation index) in COREX process of sinter by increasing MgO content is a comprehensive result of lowering strength and inhibiting probable reduction of sinter.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is a well-proven method to reduce NO emission. However, to choose the right catalyst that provides a surface for reaction between NO and ammonia at low temperatures is a challenging task for a catalysts developers. In an earlier study, we prepared V2O5-CeO2-SiO2 catalyst with increasing V2O5 content by sol-gel route and found that the catalytic activity improved with increasing the V2O5 loading up to 0.5%. The catalytic activity, however, dropped when V2O5 loading was about 1% and increased back when the loading of V2O5 was about 5%. In this study, we looked into the microstructural relationship to explain these findings. The microstructures of the catalysts before and after exposure to NO gas revealed that the catalysts with 0.2% and 0.5% V2O5 were more porous after the reduction process possibly due to improved breakdown of (NH4)HCO3 to NH3 by the possible interaction with the V2O5 and CeO2-containing catalysts which consequently resulted in a more efficient NO reduction to N2 and H2O at low temperature. The microstructure of the catalyst with 1% V2O5 content to 5%, improved back the efficiency although clogging by CeVO4 phase still possible due to its presence based on XRD. The well-ordered micropores before exposure to NO and the more efficient breakdown of (NH4)HCO3 could have contributed to increase back the catalytic activity at low temperature.
