In the early days of direct reduction, there was a clearly discernible difference between iron oxide pellets intended for blast furnace use (BF-grade pellets) and those used to make DRI to feed an EAF. A "DR-grade" pellet typically has higher iron content and less silica, alumina and other gangue constituents than "BF-grade" pellets.
