DRI (Direct Reduced Iron)

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), also known as sponge iron, is a form of iron produced by removing oxygen from iron ore using natural gas or coal at high temperatures. Unlike traditional blast furnace methods, DRI is made in a direct reduction process, which results in a porous, sponge-like iron that is highly pure. It is commonly used as a raw material in steelmaking because it saves energy and reduces emissions. DRI is valued for its efficiency, lower environmental impact, and ability to produce high-quality steel components.
