TY - JOUR AU1 - Kumar, Banty AU2 - Roy, Gour Gopal AB - This investigation reports the effect of various operating parameters like amount of carbon, holding time, and heating rate on the nugget formation of EAFD (electric arc furnace dust)-coal composite pellets in muffle furnace at 1200 °C, the lowest Temperature reported. At moderate pellet heating rate (furnace heating rate at 25 °C/min), a unique coconut shell-iron nugget formed, with slag at the shell, DRI at the center, and iron nugget in the annular space, the thickness of which increased with the holding time. At a much higher heating rate under flash heating, nugget formation could not be achieved as the pellet exploded under internal gas pressure. XRD and SEM/EDS analysis characterized the obtained nuggets and slag and Factsage 6.4 was used to calculate thermodynamics stable phases.
