Research Summary
Sponge iron, also known as direct reduced iron (DRI), is a metallic product produced from iron ore in a process known as direct reduction. Unlike traditional ironmaking methods that involve the use of blast furnaces, the direct reduction process converts iron ore pellets or lumps into sponge iron using natural gas or coal as reducing agents. This process occurs at lower temperatures compared to blast furnace ironmaking, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Sponge iron is typically high in iron content and has a porous, sponge-like structure due to the removal of oxygen during the reduction process. It is a valuable feedstock in steelmaking processes, especially in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) and induction furnaces, where it is melted along with scrap steel to produce high-quality steel products. Additionally, sponge iron can be used as a raw material in the production of iron-based chemicals and alloys.
The major global manufacturers of Sponge Iron include Mobarakeh Steel Company, Tata Sponge, Welspun Group, Jindal Steel & Power Ltd, Umesh Modi Group, Prakash Industries Limited, Sajjan, Bhushan, Sarda Energy & Minerals Limited, Qatar Steel, Gallantt, NMDC, United Raw Materials, ArcelorMittal, KhorasanSteel, etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
