Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is a substitute for high-quality scrap steel and is used for producing high-quality pure steelThe iron source raw material which cannot be in shortage is a high-quality coolant for converter steelmaking. The gas-based shaft furnace direct reduction method (MIDREX, HYL and the like) which takes natural gas as energy accounts for about 74.3 percent of the total yield of the direct reduced iron. The production development of the direct reduced iron in China is slow, particularly the gas-based shaft furnace direct reduction iron-making technology is almost blank, and the development of high-quality steel and pure steel and the development of equipment manufacturing industry in China are severely restricted. Therefore, China needs to develop a gas-based shaft furnace direct reduction iron-making technology vigorously, and the development requirements of the steel industry and the manufacturing industry in China are met.

In addition, the existing pellet test detection equipment is only a device with simple structure and single test purpose. For example, the pellet rotating drum and wear index determination (ISO3271), the pellet adhesion index determination (ISO11256), the pellet low-temperature reduction rupture index and the metallization rate determination (ISO11257) all adopt simple reduction reaction tubes and detection devices, a small amount of pellets are added intermittently, the amount of pellets is only about 500g, the reduction parameters are fixed, the simulation performance on the reduction process of the gas-based shaft furnace is not strong, and the purpose of determining reasonable process parameters aiming at different mineral raw materials cannot be realized. Therefore, the development of the gas-based shaft furnace iron-making technology needs a set of small-sized device which can comprehensively simulate the shaft furnace gas-based reduction process.
