ABSTRACT:
The present in a process for the conversion of iron-containing material into iron carbide. The process includes a first step in which the iron-containing material is contacted with a reducing gas that contains no more than a small amount of reactive carbon to produce metallic iron and a second step in which the metallic iron is contacted with a reducing and carburizing gas to produce iron carbide.
The reducing and carburizing gas includes reactive carbon, hydrogen, and methane. The iron carbide product is of high purity.
