Direct reduction (DR) refers to a solid–gas reduction reaction [7], for example, in a shaft furnace [7–10] or a fluidized bed reactor [7,11]. The ore, in shafts, either pellet or lump ore [12,13], is converted into the so-called sponge iron or direct reduced iron (DRI) as an intermediate
Fresh reduced direct reduced iron pellets produced in a commercial furnace were reoxidised in ambient air for 1–50 days at an average temperature of 27°C. The degree of reoxidation was determined by weight gain. The reoxidation process is controlled by an irreversible first order reaction with respect to oxygen.

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron. Redox reactions are common and vital to some of the …
Typically, the reduction was carried out at low temperatures and short reaction times both of which depend on metal oxide (e.g., 1200 K and 60 min for SnO 2; 1300 K and 10 min for WO 3). Sponge iron, also called direct reduced iron (DRI), is used as an alternative charge material to scrap for high-quality steel production.
Oxidation–reduction reactions, commonly known as redox reactions, are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. The species that loses electrons is said to be oxidized, while the species that gains electrons is said to be reduced. We can identify redox reactions using oxidation numbers, which are assigned ...
