reduction behaviour of acidic and basic fluxed iron ore pel-lets. The reduction was carried out isothermally at 1023– 1273K with reformed natural gas mixture. The influences of load values, temperature and basicity were investigated and correlated. In previous publication,18) the reduction ki-netics and mechanism under load was discussed. 2.

Results showed that both the reduction degree and reaction rate increased with the increasing temperature. The reduction rate was controlled by chemical reaction with the apparent activation energy of 40.954 kJ·mol~(-1), The chemical reaction resistance could be effectively reduced through appropriately raising the temperature.

The results show a higher reduction progress and a higher RSI under H 2 atmosphere than under CO atmosphere. Higher temperatures lead to faster reduction progress and to significant changes in the structural composition of the reduced pellets.
