日本語
鉄鉱石および鉄含有鉱物の分解機構を、低炭素鉄製造の経路として検討した研究。Fe2O3は700℃以上、Fe3O4とFeOは800℃以上で還元が熱力学的に有利となる。真空下での直接熱分解は炭素や還元剤なしで鉄を完全還元でき、石炭・コークス・COへの依存を排除すればゼロカーボン排出が可能となる。速度論モデルと実験結果の比較では、等モルモデルと等圧モデルの乖離は小さい。
English
This study examines decomposition mechanisms of iron ore and iron-bearing minerals as a route to low-carbon ironmaking. Fe2O3 reduction is thermodynamically favorable above 700°C, while Fe3O4 and FeO become feasible above 800°C. Vacuum-based direct thermal decomposition can fully reduce iron oxides without carbon or reducing agents, potentially enabling zero-carbon emissions by eliminating coal, coke, and CO reliance. Kinetic models (equimolar and isobaric) show low discrepancy against experimental data.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の鉄鋼業はScope 1排出の大宗を占め、水素還元製鉄や電炉シフトがGX政策の重点領域。本論文の熱分解経路は、石炭依存を断つ脱炭素プロセスの選択肢として、日本製鉄など国内大手の技術戦略や産業脱炭素ロードマップを検討する際の基礎的知見となる。
In the global GX context
Steel is among the hardest-to-abate sectors under ISSB/CSRD Scope 1 disclosure and transition-finance frameworks. This paper's zero-carbon thermal decomposition pathway adds to the global evidence base on alternative ironmaking routes (hydrogen DRI, electrowinning) that underpin steel decarbonization transition plans and green-steel procurement standards.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study investigates the decomposition mechanisms of iron ore and iron-bearing minerals as pathways to low-carbon iron production. In compliance with sustainable mining principles, decomposing iron-bearing minerals below their melting points supports environmental preservation and reduces the carbon footprint. Indirect reduction, the most widely applied industrial process, involves reducing oxide components in iron ore with carbon monoxide as a gaseous intermediate. An alternative mechanism is the formation of gaseous carbides when iron interacts with carbon in the gas phase. The implementation of the direct reduction process in industry significantly lowered both the carbon footprint and energy requirements, but in a laboratory setting where reduction can occur in a vacuum, it is possible to reduce iron from its oxides completely without carbon or other reducing agents, in a process known as direct thermal decomposition. Further advancing direct thermal decomposition-based processes in industrial applications could achieve zero-carbon emissions by eliminating reliance on coal, coke, or carbon monoxide and preventing the direct greenhouse gas emissions typical of conventional processes. The reduction in Fe2O3, the predominant oxide in iron ores, is thermodynamically favorable above 700 °C, while Fe3O4 and FeO reductions become feasible above 800 °C. Comparing available literature data on kinetic modeling and experimental results, both equimolar and isobaric models showed low discrepancy in results. The identification of intermediate carbide compounds indicates that carbon reduction of iron oxides may occur primarily via dissociative evaporation of the oxide, with concurrent metal condensation at the oxide/metal boundary. Solid-state reduction of iron-bearing minerals at atmospheric pressure is an established route for producing iron feedstock for electric arc furnace steelmaking.
