Abstract A blast furnace is the dominant process for making iron in the world. Iron ore pellets are commonly used as iron burden materials in a blast furnace, in which iron oxides are reduced to metallic molten iron. While descending, the charge faces various stresses, which affect the gas flows in the shaft and the energy efficiency of the process. Charge material testing on a laboratory scale is of crucial importance in regard to the development of material quality. This doctoral thesis presents a couple of advanced novel experimental methods: a novel camera imaging method to determine the amount of swelling during reduction; a novel reducibility test to determine the reducibility in a solid state under simulated blast furnace conditions...
