    摘要: A process for direct smelting metalliferous feed material is disclosed. Iron oxides are partially reduced in a solid state in a pre-reduction vessel. The partially reduced iron oxides are smelted to molten iron in a direct smelting vessel which contains a molten bath of iron and slag and is supplied with a solid carbonaceous material as a source of reductant and energy and with an oxygen containing gas for post-combusting carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated in the vessel. The direct smelting step generates an off-gas that contains sulphur and the off-gas is released from the direct smelting vessel. Part only of the off-gas released from the direct smelting vessel is used in the pre-reduction step to pre-reduce iron oxides in the pre-reduction vessel. Part only of the off-gas is used in the pre-reduction step in order to control the amount of sulphur that is returned with the partially reduced iron oxides to the direct smelting vessel.

    摘要: A direct smelting process for producing metals from a metalliferous feed material is disclosed. The process includes forming a molten bath having a metal layer (15) and a slag layer (16) on the metal layer in a metallurgical vessel, injecting metalliferous feed material and solid carbonaceous material into the metal layer via a plurality of lances/tuyeres (11), and smelting metalliferous material to metal in the metal layer. The process also includes causing molten material to be projected as splashes, droplets, and streams into a top space above a nominal quiescent surface of the molten bath to form a transition zone (23). The process also includes injecting an oxygen-containing gas into the vessel via one or more than one lance/tuyere (13) to post-combust reaction gases released from the molten bath, whereby the ascending and thereafter descending splashes, droplets and streams of molten material in the transition zone facilitate heat transfer to the molten bath, and whereby the transition zone minimises heat loss from the vessel via the side walls in contact with the transition zone. The process is characterised by controlling the process by maintaining a high slag inventory.

    摘要: A method of producing metals and metal alloys from metal oxides is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of partially pre-reducing the metal oxides to a pre-reduction degree of at least 60 % in one or more pre-reduction stages. Thereafter, the method comprises completely reducing the metal oxides and melting the metal in a smelt reduction stage. The method is further characterised by carrying out at least one of the pre-reduction stages with one or more of natural gas, reformed natural gas, and partially reformed natural gas as a source of reductant.

    摘要: A direct smelting process for producing metal from a metalliferous feed material is disclosed. The direct smelting process is a molten bath-based process in which smelting occurs predominantly in the metal layer, carrier gas/metalliferous feed material/solid carbonaceous material are injected into the metal layer via lances/tuyeres, and oxygen-containing gas is injected into the top space above the molten bath and post-combusts reaction gases released from the bath. The injection of metalliferous feed material and solid carbonaceous material causes molten material to be projected from the molten bath as splashes, droplets and streams and to form a transition zone. The process is characterised by forming a pipe of a solid material on an outlet end of at least one lance/tuyere while injecting the metalliferous feed material and the carbonaceous material through the lances/tuyeres and thereby extending the effective length of the lance/tuyere or the lances/tuyeres.

    摘要: The HIsmelt process as disclosed in WO 96/31627 A1 (PCT/AU96/00197) consists of forming a molten bath of iron and slag, injecting metalliferous feed (oxides), solid carbonaceous material (coal and/or coke) and slag formers into the bath and smelting the metalliferous feed to metal. The process also consists of post-combusting the unoxidised reaction gases and transferring the generated heat to the bath to facilitate the smelting. In addition, a transition zone between the post-combustion zone and the quiescent metal zone is formed by injecting the charge together with a carrier gas into the bath, thus causing the metal and slag to be projected into the transition zone. The present application constitutes an improvement over the afore-mentioned application, in that lances/tuyères are inserted deep into the melt to provide oxygen for post-combustion of the unoxidised reaction gases and, in addition, to project splashes, droplets and streams of molten metal into the transition zone, which, in turn, fall back into the bath, thus effectively transferring heat from the post-combustion zone to the molten bath. The level of dissolved carbon in the bath is maintained at >/= 3 %, preferably > 4 %. The FeO level in the slag is maintained at . Primary post-combustion is set at > 40 %, preferably > 50 % or > 60 %.
