Martian metal industry: air, sun and regolith
Engineers from the Australian University of Swinburne (Swinburne University of Technology) have developed a process for the production of iron from scrap materials on Mars. It uses Martian soil – regolith, processed air and solar energy. Solar radiation is used as a heat source, in addition, carbon is involved in the scheme (carbothermic reaction) as a catalyst. It can be obtained by cooling carbon monoxide (CO). In turn, CO is…
Recycle CO2 in the blast furnace: climate-friendly steel
Germany is the largest steel producer in the EU. Around a third of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by the entire industry in Germany is produced in blast furnaces. However, an alternative process route is in sight that produces almost no CO2. However, it will only be fully established in many years. For the transition, engineers are developing a concept under the coordination of the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) to…
