Abstract

Mic rotopography and combustion characteristics of carbonized corn straw and pine charcoal as well as anthracite were investigated to compare the property of fuel and analyze the application of corn straw in industrial activity. The reduction process of hematite with different reducing agent was studied with thermogravimetric analysis. It is indicated in the results that the initial reduction temperature was lower when carbonized corn straw was blended with hematite and an ideal reduction rate can be achieved with a C/O of 1.1, while the reduction rate of pine charcoal to hematite was lower and higher C/O is needed for anthracite to obtain the same reduction rate.
