On January 18, 2025, Luoyang Kaizheng Environmental Protection Technology Equipment Co., Ltd. held ten ceremonies and New Year party in Marriott Hotel. This event is not only a review and summary of the company's development in the past ten years, but also a prospect and expectation for the bright future.

In the great journey of striving towards carbon peak in the industrial field, environmental protection process equipment such as ball rollers, mixers, compaction granulators, cold and hot pressing technologies have become the core driving force for promoting green transformation in key industries. This series of actions not only demonstrates the power of technological innovation, but also embodies a profound commitment to efficient resource utilization and environmental protection.

The preiron CO₂emissions in the steel industry account for over 70% of the total emissions, and reducing carbon emissions from pre iron processes is the key to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality in the steel industry. At present, the use of non blast furnace Tiantie gas based vertical furnace reduction technology and the optimization of various process parameters based on the pure hydrogen vertical furnace reduction process route proposed by China Steel Research Institute provide a solution for achieving low or zero emissions of CO₂in green hydrogen metallurgy.

Solemnly committed at the General debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly on 22 September 2020:China will increase its contribution of state funding,CO2 emissions should peak by 2030,Working towards carbon neutrality by 2060，To achieve carbon neutrality and dual carbon by 2060 is the solemn commitment of the Chinese government to the international community, and it is also an inevitable strategic goal for the development of our steel indust. In general, the steel industry energy saving and carbon reduction, cost reduction and efficiency are the main ways: 1. Eliminate backwardness, save energy and improve energy efficiency; 2. Forming an ecological chain between steel and related industries; 3. Pay attention to the use of scrap steel resources; 4. Improve the efficiency of steel use; 5. Reduce fossil fuel consumption and find alternatives to fossil fuels; 6. Carbon dioxide collection and storage. We will do a good job in energy conservation and emission reduction, innovate technology, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and coordinate upstream and downstream carbon reduction. Relying on iron ore to achieve the two-carbon goal can only be a transition from carbon reduction to hydrogen reduction. The breakthrough of hydrogen reduction technology may take a long time, so in the future, blast furnace ironmaking will still be the mainstream technology of iron and steel industry. In the traditional process of blast-coking-sintering iron making, dust and flue gas are discharged greatly. The pollutant emissions of sintering machine and coking plant account for more than half of the total emissions of iron and steel complex enterprises, and they are the biggest pollution sources in the steel production process. Due to the devastating effect of coking on the environment, Western countries have shut down 90% of coking equipment. Therefore, reducing coke ratio, increasing pellet ratio and reducing sinter ratio are the most effective ways to save energy and reduce emission in traditional iron and steel process. The transformation and upgrading of the steel industry and the road of low-carbon and green development are inevitable trends. The global production and marketing of direct reduced iron are flourishing, and the development of hydrogen metallurgy technology is a global consensus. Under the guidance of the two-carbon policy, the main domestic iron and steel enterprises have been involved in the field of non-blast furnace ironmaking technology. Make full use of the historic opportunities faced by the non-blast furnace smelting industry, meet the difficulties, and make the industry healthy and healthy development. In the context of the global development of low-carbon economy, China's non-blast furnace smelting industry has formed an innovative development trend of multi-process equipment and process routes. Under the policy guidance of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the state encourages the development of non-blast furnace ironmaking technology, and iron and steel enterprises have the demand for transformation and development. The development of non-blast furnace iron-making technology is conducive to saving precious coking coal resources, conducive to the structural adjustment of the iron and steel industry, conducive to reducing environmental pollution and reducing CO2 emissions, conducive to the development of composite iron ore, refractory iron ore, conducive to the treatment of iron dust and ferrous slag in steel mills and other ferrous waste, in line with the general policy of circular economy. Non-blast furnace ironmaking technology is expected to become the trend of realizing low-carbon ironmaking in iron and steel industry.

Indications from the steel industry and local and global government institutions are that the breakthrough technologies for decarbonization will be based on hydrogen reduction. The employment of hydrogen in the ironmaking and steelmaking industries will push forward the global transformation of hard-to-abate industries.

Grain Rain is the sixth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms，which is from an old Chinese saying - Rain aids the growth of countless grain. This means the rain is very important for the growth of grain at this time of year.

Against the backdrop of global climate change, China is actively seeking ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in order to achieve the strategic goals of carbon neutrality and carbon compliance. In this context, the application of H2/coal based reduction technology in the field of refractory mineral processing and smelting is leading a new technological revolution.

In the context of carbon reduction and emission reduction, the new process of electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking based on direct hydrogen reduction is an important potential method for the green and sustainable development of the steel industry. Within an electric furnace for the hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron, after hydrogen-based directly reduced iron (HDRI) is produced through a shaft furnace, HDRI is melted or smelted in an EAF to form final products such as high-purity iron or high-end special steel. As smelting proceeds in the electric furnace, it is easy for pieces of HDRI to bond to each other and become larger pieces; they may even form an “iceberg”, and this phenomenon may then worsen the smelting working conditions. Therefore, the melting of HDRI is the key to affecting the smelting cycle and energy consumption of EAFs.

It has been found through practice that the finished ore produced by the grate machine rotary kiln process has the characteristics of uniform quality, good metallurgical properties, more usable fuels, and strong adaptability to raw materials. This article introduces what equipment should be equipped with this production line equipment.

The results show that the optimal drying, preheating, and roasting temperatures of limonite pellets are 200 °C, 700 °C, and 1250 °C, respectively, and the optimal roasting time is 20 min, when the diameter of the pellets is 8–13 mm. The compressive strength of limonite pellets with the addition of 1.5% bentonite was the highest, meeting the demands of a general blast furnace, based on which the iron grade of limonite pellet ore was increased by 10.63%.

In this experiment, a pellet preparation method was investigated to study the drying, preheating, and roasting properties of limonitic iron ore from a plant in Yunnan. The aim was to improve the subsequent iron-making process of limonitic iron ore and make it a substitute for sintered ore. This substitution would reduce the amount of blast furnace slag in the iron-making process. Bentonite is commonly used as a primary binder in many pelletizing plant operations. However, its excessive usage leads to a higher risk of slagging and coking in the furnace.

First, amine-based post-combustion capture with a 95% capture rate was considered as the benchmark, as it is currently commercially available. A second, novel configuration integrated the Midrex process with pressurized chemical looping—direct reduced iron (PCL-DRI) production. The amine capture configuration is most sensitive to the cost of steam generation, while PCL-DRI is more sensitive to the cost of electricity and the makeup oxygen carrier. An iron-based natural ore is recommended for PCL-DRI due to the low cost and availability. Based on the lower costs compared to amine-based post-combustion capture, PCL-DRI is an attractive means of eliminating CO2 emissions from DRI production.
