· The pellets then travel through a reduction zone where the pellets are subjected to a higher temperature at which the contained iron oxide is reduced and remains within the pellets and the zinc, lead and cadmium oxides are reduced, volatilized, re-oxidized and
· Direct reduction in rotary hearth furnaces (RHF) can be used for metallurgical dusts recycling considering its high efficiency in reducing iron oxides and separating heavy and alkali metal elements. However, there is still a lack of understanding on the relationship between in-pellet behaviour and in-furnace phenomena of a RHF.
Then, in the reduction zone, the pellets reach the reaction tempera-ture, which is greater than 1,100, and the reduction of zinc oxide and iron oxide by carbon takes place. Here, as the zinc evaporates from the pellets, the zinc removal reaction proceeds. The
The pellets then travel through a reduction zone where the pellets are subjected to a higher temperature at which the contained iron oxide is reduced and remains within the pellets and the zinc, lead and cadmium oxides are reduced, volatilized, re-oxidized and

With iron ore reduction processes using coal-ore pellets or mixtures, it is possible that volatiles can contribute to reduction. By simulating the constituents of the individual reducing species in the volatiles, the rates for H 2 and CO were investigated in the temperature and reduction range of interest; hydrogen is the major reductant and was studied in detail.
· Sohn and Freuhan [] studied the effect of volatiles on the reduction kinetics of iron oxide-coal composite pellets in a simulated laboratory scale multi-layer RHF heated by an infrared lamp. They reported that the reduction in composite pellets due to its own devolatisation is negligible; while volatile released could be potentially useful for reduction of subsequent layers.
