    Abstract: The iron and steel industry has a history of environmental consciousness, and efforts are continually made to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. However, the carbothermic process has approached limits on the further reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and only marginal improvements can be expected. Low temperature electrolysis using a dispersion medium to efficiently distribute charge throughout a colloid mixture including iron oxide provides an environmentally friendly method for performing an electrochemical reduction of Fe2O3 to produce granular Fe. An electrical-ionic conductive colloidal electrode containing the electrochemically active species (Fe2O3 particles), the liquid electrolyte (NaOH solution), and a percolating electrical conductor (carbon network) is utilized to produce Fe. The resulting simultaneous percolation of electrons and ions effectively increases the area of the current collector, and enables the process to function at higher currents and rate of charge transfer than static electrolysis.
