Our Partners

The consortium of the Safe H-DRI project consists of 20 partners including steel producers, plant supplier, logistics providers, RTOs, and universities from Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Beglium, France, Spain and Italy. All of them have outstanding know-how in ironmaking and bulk solid transportation.

3.

Examination of H-DRI reoxidation behaviour under varying conditions being typical for transport (dry/wet storage using saltwater conditions, humid air, enhanced temperature)

Learn more

4.

Quantification of crack formation during H-DRI handling and fines formation and develop options for its reuse

Learn more

5.

Identificaiton of correlations between varying H-DRI quality (metallization, gangue content, particle size), hazards and risks, and identifying critical factors for safe transport

Learn more

6.

Research the potential of passivation methods for H-DRI to prevent hazards and risks from reoxidation (self-heating, ignition, local explosions) during transport and related handling including its downstream impact on loss of metallization, particle sizes and dust composition
