DetailsIn general, the reduction of Fe 2 O 3, called hematite, does not occur directly to metallic iron, Fe.If the reduction temperature is lower than 570 °C, reduction to Fe occurs stepwise from Fe 2 O 3 to Fe 3 O 4, called magnetite, and continues to Fe.The intermediate oxide, wüstite Fe (1−x) O, is not stable at temperatures lower than 570 °C. At reduction …

DetailsFor the iron direct reduction, a series of reactions occurred during the process of pellets reduction at T > 843 K: Fe 2 O 3 → Fe 3 O 4 → FeO → Fe. In the reduction series, the transformations of Fe 2 O 3 → Fe 3 O 4 and Fe 3 O 4 → FeO are more rapid than that of FeO → Fe, thus the former two reactions can be ignored in the …
