Selection of an Inert Gas System for the Transportation of Direct Reduced Iron

Direct reduced iron (DRI) can create significant risks such as ignition, explosion, and fire because of the oxidation reaction in case when DRI undergoes spontaneously heating and comes in contact with oxygen or water. For this reason, the transportation of DRI is classified as a dangerous task of w...
