Abstract:
Hydrogen-based reduction of iron oxides, particularly magnetite (Fe?O?) and iron silicates such as fayalite (Fe?SiO?), represents a promising pathway for decarbonizing steelmaking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This research review synthesizes findings from over 20 Scopus-indexed peer-reviewed articles published between 2013 and 2025, analyzing thermodynamic behavior, reaction kinetics, microstructural changes, and industrial applications of hydrogen reduction technology. The review employs the IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) framework and incorporates thermodynamic calculations, Ellingham diagrams, Arrhenius formulation, and comprehensive statistical analysis.
