Review on the Application and Development of Biochar in Ironmaking Production

Abstract

In recent years, the concept of green, low-carbon and clean energy consumption has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and countries have actively advocated the use of new energy. In the face of problems such as resource shortage and environmental pollution, we began to explore the use of new fuels instead of coal for production. Biomass resources have the characteristics of being renewable and carbon neutral and having large output. As an energy utilization, it is helpful to promote the transformation of the energy structure in various countries. Applying it to ironmaking production is not only conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction in the ironmaking process but also can achieve efficient utilization of crop waste. By introducing the source and main preparation methods of biochar, this paper expounds the main links and advantages of biochar in the ironmaking process and puts forward the direction of biochar in ironmaking in the future.
