Fundamental to direct reduction using coal in rotary kilns and rotary hearth furnaces is the need to separate two different zones in the furnace—the reducing atmosphere that must be kept around the ore particles, for reduction to take place, and the oxidation of CO, H 2, and other volatiles in the freeboard above the reactants. The latter ...
