Green Iron Electroreduction converts iron ore into high-purity iron using renewable electricity and a custom electrolyte.
Element Zero Green Iron Electroreduction is the company's patented non-aqueous electrochemical process that dissolves iron ore in a custom electrolyte and converts it into high-purity iron at approximately 250-300 degrees C using renewable electricity, designed to run on intermittent wind and solar power.
The process reports iron output at roughly 98 percent purity and 30-40 percent lower energy use per tonne than coal- or gas-based ironmaking, with a membrane-free closed-loop design that recovers and reuses the electrolyte. It accepts iron ores ranging from about 30 to 72 percent Fe, including lower-grade ores that hydrogen direct reduction cannot process, and the same platform has been tested on nickel, titanium, tin, and silica.
An electrochemical process producing high-purity iron and mineral co-products such as alumina, silica, and manganese from a single ore.
GravitHy's Hot Briquetted Iron is produced from low-carbon hydrogen at an industrial plant in Fos-sur-Mer for greener steelmaking.
