🎉Exciting news! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce the publication of our first peer-reviewed paper in Metals by MDPI. 📝✨

Our paper, titled “Reoxidation Behavior of the Direct Reduced Iron and Hot Briquetted Iron during Handling and Their Integration into Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking: A Review” studies how direct reduced iron (DRI) and hot briquetted iron (HBI) are integrated into the steelmaking process using electric arc furnaces. It provides an overview of various DRI production techniques distinguished by different reactor types.

🥳Celebrating this milestone wouldn‘t have been possible without the hard work and collaboration of everyone involved. A special shoutout to our colleague, Lina Kieush, who is the main author of the paper. Her expertise and dedication were essential in making this publication a success. A huge thanks to all co-authors for their contributions: Oday Daghagheleh from Montanuniversität Leoben and Stefanie Lesiak, Johannes Rieger, Melanie Leitner, Lukas Schmidt, all from K1-MET GmbH.
