摘要:
The present invention is to provide a technique that further improves the process for producing granular metal by heating agglomerates containing a metal oxide and a carbonaceous reducing agent, and reducing and melting the metal oxide included in the agglomerates. The process for producing granular metal comprising the steps of: feeding agglomerates containing a metal oxide and a carbonaceous reducing agent onto a hearth of a moving hearth-type reduction melting furnace; heating the agglomerates to reduce and to melt the metal oxide; cooling the granular metal obtained by said heating step; and discharging the cooled granular metal out of the furnace to recover the same, wherein the agglomerates having an average diameter of not smaller than 17.5 mm are fed onto the hearth when the agglomerates are heated at a spread density of not lower than 0.5 on the hearth.

A hearth furnace for producing direct reduced iron is described. The furnace has first and second combustion chambers, each having a rotating hearth within it to receive iron oxide and reducing agent. A set of rabbles disposed over each of the rotating hearths interacts with the iron oxide and pushes the iron oxide towards an inside or an outside edge of each rotating hearth. The first combustion chamber having an outlet connected to an inlet of the second combustion chamber to receive materials pushed by the rabbles of the first combustion chamber to the first combustion chamber outlet. The furnace further comprising one or more gas transfer channels for transferring reduction gasses and heat between the second and first combustion chambers.

Provided is a movable hearth furnace for thoroughly removing alkali metal elements and producing high-strength reduced iron when producing reduced iron using iron production dust containing alkali metal elements in a movable hearth furnace. The movable hearth furnace comprises: a reduction zone for heating and reducing a carbon composite briquette (C) to produce a reduced briquette (D) having an iron metallization rate of 80% or greater; an alkali removal zone, disposed after the reduction zone, for heating the reduced briquette in a reducing atmosphere and removing the alkali metal elements from the reduced briquette to obtain an alkali-free reduced briquette; and a strengthening zone, disposed after the alkali removal zone, for heating the alkali-free reduced briquette in an oxidizing atmosphere and raising the crushing strength of the alkali-free reduced briquette to produce reduced iron product.
摘要:
A method for producing metallic iron wherein a mixture containing a carbonaceous reducing agent and iron oxides is supplied onto the hearth of a traveling reduction melting furnace and is heated to reduce and melt the iron oxide and the resultant metallic iron is cooled and then is discharged to the outside of the furnace and recovered, which comprises spreading, in advance, a hearth material having a powdery or granular form all over the hearth into a layer, to form a renewable hearth, prior to the supply of the raw material mixture, removing a part or all of the renewable hearth having been deteriorated in the operation of the furnace, supplying a new hearth material to renew the renewable hearth, leveling out the renewed hearth, and then supplying the above mixture to produce metallic iron. The method allows the easy removal and restoration even when a powder of metallic iron is buried in the surface of the hearth or the hearth is infiltrated or eroded by a slag, which results in the improvement of the availability and the easiness in the maintenance of a hearth and leads to the continuous operation of the hearth for a long period.
摘要:
A method for producing reduced iron wherein a raw material feed step of charging a raw material containing a carbonaceous reducing agent and an iron oxides containing material into a rotating hearth furnace, a heating and reduction step of heating said raw material and reducing iron oxides in said raw material, to form reduced iron, a melting step of melting said reduced iron, a cooling step of said molten reduced iron, and a discharging step of discharging said cooled reduced iron to the outside of the furnace are successively carried out in the direction of the movement of the hearth, which comprises providing, in the above furnace, a flow rate adjusting partition wall for controlling the flow of a gas in the furnace, to thereby form the flow of the gas in the furnace in the cooling step along the direction of the movement of the hearth. The above method allows the suitable control of the flow of the outside air (an oxidizing gas) entering from a raw material feeding means, a discharging means or the like, which leads to the solution of a problem that the reduction rate is decreased by said outside air.
摘要:
A method and system for producing metallic iron nuggets may include providing multiple layers of agglomerates, such as briquettes, balls and extrusions, of a reducible mixture of reducing material (such as carbonaceous material) and of a reducible iron bearing material (such as iron oxide) on a hearth material layer (such as carbonaceous material) and providing a coarse overlayer of carbonaceous material over at least some of the agglomerates. Heating the agglomerates of reducible mixture to 1425 °C or 1400 °C or 1375 °C results in formation of an intermediate product of one or more metallic iron nuggets, which may have a sulfur content of less than 0.03%, and slag, which may have less than 5% mass MgO, which may have a ratio of percent by weight sulfur in the slag over percent by weight sulfur in the metallic nuggets of at least about 12 or at least about 15.
摘要:
In a method for producing a reduced iron pellet, when a powder formed article including iron oxide and carbon is heated and reduced in a rotary hearth furnace, a formed article produced using a raw material, in which an average diameter of the iron oxide is 50 microns or less and a ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in a reduction zone is from 0.3 to 1, is reduced at a temperature of 1400°C or less, thereby producing a reduced iron pellet in which a metallization ratio of iron is 50 to 85% and a ratio of residual carbon is 2% or less.
