About Dolochar
Dolochar is the char residue from coal-based sponge iron (DRI) kilns. It contains leftover carbon and some dolomite and ash, and is used mainly as a low-cost fuel in boilers, power plants and brick kilns.
Uses and applications of dolochar
- Boiler fuel: blended with coal in fluidised bed boilers in captive power plants.
- Brick kilns: fuel in clay brick firing.
- Industrial heating: supplementary fuel where low cost matters more than high calorific value.
- Waste use: helps sponge iron units put a by-product to productive use instead of dumping it.
Grades, forms and packing
Dolochar is supplied as loose material in the size it comes from the kiln, or screened if needed. Fixed carbon, ash, moisture and calorific value vary a lot between sources and lots, so these values are shared with the quotation, and a test report can be discussed. Supply is usually in bulk truck loads, and bagged material can be arranged for smaller buyers. See our Carbon, Coke & Charcoal category for other fuels.
