Therefore, a novel process is proposed to directly produce ferronickel from nickel laterite ore by semi-molten reduction, which is expected to be realized in a rotary hearth furnace (RHF). The RHF process is able to shorten the flow sheet, decrease the reaction temperature as well as reduce energy consumption.

Two strategies to use a rotary hearth furnace (RHF) are discussed from the perspectives of techno-economics and CO 2 reduction. One is to use the RHF to produce low-reduced iron (LRI), which is then used in a blast furnace (BF); the other is to use the RHF to produce direct reduced iron (DRI) and use it in an electric arc furnace (EAF).
