Abstract

Pig iron as raw material for steel production, can be prepared by smelting a Direct Reduced Iron (DRI)/sponge iron. The smelting process needs optimum conditions to obtain such a high recovery likes basicity, which measures the ratio of alkalinity or acidity by adding the exact quantity of flux (CaCO3) and quartz sand to input materials to generate the reduction process running well. In this study, smelting process was conducted using DRI sample mixed with varied flux (CaCO3), quartz sand and coal. Then a mixture was fed to a resistance furnace. The reduction process was carried out at a temperature of 1600°C, for 1-2 hour. Pig iron as product and slag were analyzed to obtain its chemical composition. Afterward, recovery products was calculated. The results showed that the best conditions in these experiments were achieved at 1.18 basicity with pig iron recovery was reached up to 95.79%, contented of 95.84% Fe, 3.52% C and 0.0024% SiO2. These data of this study can be used as reference of flux (limestone), quartz sand and carbon addition as input to resistance furnace in smelting process of sponge iron on a larger scale.

Abstract

There are two types of REE-bearing mineral in Indonesia, namely monazite and xenotime. Those minerals have not been further processed to obtain pure REEs or to obtain its oxides. The objective of this study is to study the performances of the REE extracted from monazite in acid method. The results show that the highest REE-extraction (28.41%) is achieved when the comparison between of sulfuric acid and water (v/v) is 1:2 with leaching temperature 220°C and leaching time 150 minutes. The process employed hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer. Pregnant solution was then precipitated using sodium hydroxide and then was calcined at 900°C for 3 hours to produce RE-oxide. Characteristic of the RE-oxide contains such elements of Ce, Gd, Y, Nd, La, Dy and Sm within 29.10, 1.54, 1.53, 11.53, 14.02, 0.489 and 1.85%, respectively.
