Plasma in iron making lowers COX emission@cashbag2.0 In iron making, coke is used as a heat source and reductant. The application of plasma in iron making lowers COX emission for being used as plasma as a heat source. The reducibility of metal oxides by solid carbon or CO gas is lower than that of H2. The use of methane as plasma forming gas is beneficial over argon or nitrogen from a cost perspective. ////However, ecofriendly gas emission in iron making is only possible through hydrogen plasma processing;/// the exit gas is water vapor, which reduces environmental pollution and will be much beneficial in impurity-free metal production.
