The packed structure, such as packing density and particle size distribution, of COREX shaft furnace, directly affects the gas flow and reaction process. A two-dimensional steady-state mathematical model was developed to study the influence of five packed structures on the gas flow, pressure distribution, species composition, and solid metallization rate in a COREX shaft furnace with center gas supply. The results show that the gas velocity is relatively uniform along the radial direction under Case-P. Under Case-InV and Case-V, the gas velocity increases and decreases gradually from the center to the wall zone respectively. The gas velocity contour in the upper part of the shaft in Case-M is ‘M’ shape, while it shows ‘W’ shape in Case-W. The order of pressure drop under five packed structures is Case-P &gt; Case-M &gt; Case-W &gt; Case-InV &gt; Case-V, and for the solid metallization rate, the order is Case-V &gt; Case-W &gt; Case-P &gt; Case-M &gt; Case- InV. As Case-V has the lowest pressure drop and largest metallization rate, the charging matrix in practical production should develop towards a ‘V’ shaped burden profile in the upper of the packed bed in the COREX shaft furnace.
