Sugarcane bagasse has demonstrated its ability to act as a reductor in iron-reduction process. As a reductor, bagasse has specialties as double-acting reductor equiped with volatile matter. This is the first study of the use of bagasse as reductor in iron-reduction process. The parameter concluded from this study was used for the second study which report has been submitted for publication. The aim of this study is to discuss the effect of reduction process parameter to the use of bagasse as reductor. This study was divided into 2 step. The first step is determining the optimum reduction process temperature and weight ratio. The reduction temperature varied as 700, 800, 900 and 1000 °C and the weight ratio are 1:2 and 1:4. The process duration is 30 minutes. The second stape is determining the process duration. The process duration will be varied as 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The condition of bagasse is air dried basis. The result shows that the reduction process produced wustite (FeO).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
