The present invention provides: a method for drying compacts containing water so as not to cause explosion and powdering; a method for reducing the compacts after being dried with great efficiency in a rotary-hearth-type reducing furnace; and a rotary-hearth-type metal reducing furnace. In the present invention, when compacts comprising powder containing metal oxide and carbon are dried, the critical value of a water evaporation rate, beyond which explosion occurs, is determined from the size and porosity of the compacts, then the water evaporation rate is controlled to a value not exceeding the critical value and, by so doing, the increase in the internal pressure of the compacts caused by the generation of water vapor is prevented. By the method, the explosion and cracking of the compacts are prevented. Further, when compacts are dried in a rotary-hearth-type reducing furnace, explosion is prevented by controlling the heat supply rate to the compacts through the above method and successively the compacts are incinerated and reduced in the same furnace.
摘要:
A method for producing a reduced iron compact having a high crushing strength, hardly powdering, and having a high reducibility by using a baking reducing furnace of solid reducing type such as a rotary hearth reducing furnace, a reduced iron compact produced by the method, and a method for smelting-reducing the reduced iron compact in a blast furnace. In the method for producing the reduced iron compact, the compact is so produced that the atomic molar ratios of the carbon in a raw powder of a mixture of an iron oxide-containing powder and a carbon-containing powder and the oxygen chemically bonded to iron, manganese, nickel, zinc, and lead or the content of the ferric oxide in the raw powder is in a specific range and that the porosity is in a specific range, and the compact is placed on the hearth of a reducing furnace which the hearth rotates the compact, heated by the heat of the burning gas in the upper part of the furnace, and baked and reduced above a predetermined temperature.

摘要:
A method for producing metallic iron which involves heating a raw material mixture containing a carbonaceous reducing agent and a substance containing iron oxide, to reduce the iron oxide and melt the product, wherein the raw material mixture is fed onto a hearth of a thermal reducing furnace after a carbonaceous material for adjusting an atmosphere in a powdery granule form is spread over the hearth, characterized in that as the carbonaceous material for adjusting an atmosphere, use is made of a carbonaceous material which does not exhibit blocking and solidifying property during operation. The method allows the prevention of the solidification of the carbonaceous material in a powdery granule form into a rice cracker form, which leads to efficient execution of a solid state reduction process with stable operation.

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 direct smelting process for producing iron and/or ferroalloys on a commercial scale in a metallurgical vessel is disclosed. The process includes injecting solid feed materials into a molten bath via multiple solids injection lances (27) and injecting post-combustion oxygen-containing gas into the vessel via one or more lance (26). The process is characterised by selecting the numbers of solids injection and oxygen gas injection lances and the relative positions of these lances and controlling process operating conditions so that: (i) an expanded molten bath zone (28) that has a raised region (70) forms around the oxygen gas injection region of the vessel between the region and the side walls of the vessel; (ii) splashes, droplets and streams of molten material project upwardly from the raised region and form a curtain (72) around the oxygen gas injection region between the region and the vessel side walls and wet the side walls; and (iii) a "free" space (29) forms around a lower end of the or each oxygen gas injection lance, the free space having a concentration of molten material that is lower than the molten material concentration in the expanded molten bath zone.

Method and system for producing metallic nuggets includes providing reducible mixture (e.g., reducible micro-agglomerates; reducing material and reducible iron bearing material; reducible mixture including additives such as a fluxing agent; compacts, etc.) on at least a portion of a hearth material layer. In one embodiment, a plurality of channel openings extend at least partially through a layer of the reducible mixture to define a plurality of nugget forming reducible material regions. Such channel openings may be at least partially filled with nugget separation fill material (e.g., carbonaceous material). Thermally treating the layer of reducible mixture results in formation of one or more metallic iron nuggets. In other embodiments, various compositions of the reducible mixture and the formation of the reducible mixture provide one or more beneficial characteristics.

A method for producing a titanium containing slag, which comprises heating a raw material mixture containing a titanium oxide, an iron oxide and a carbonaceous reducing agent or another raw material mixture further containing a calcium oxide source in addition to the above in a reducing furnace to reduce the iron oxide in the mixture to a reduced iron, supplying the product to a heating type melting furnace, heating the product in the melting furnace to melt said reduced iron and separate it from a slag containing a titanium oxide, and discharge the resultant titanium oxide containing slag to the outside of the furnace for recovery. The method can be used for producing a titanium oxide containing slag from a material containing a titanium oxide and an iron oxide with good efficiency, while suppressing the reduction of titanium dioxide and minimizing electric power consumption.
