A gasifier for the gasification of a fuel material includes a chamber in which the material is converted into a gas and a molten slag. A quenching apparatus is provided for cooling and solidifying the molten slag. A nozzle extends between the chamber and the quenching apparatus. The nozzle includes an orifice having an inlet end for receiving the molten slag from the chamber and an outlet end for discharging the molten slag into the quenching apparatus. A recessed zone is provided between the outlet end of the orifice and the quenching apparatus. The recessed zone may be formed within the nozzle. An electric induction heating coil provides heat in the recessed zone to prevent the solidification of the slag at the outlet end of the orifice.

An improved method and apparatus for making metallic iron from iron ore including low-grade ore by the use of a solid reductant such as coal in a completely enclosed system wherein the heat for reduction originates from induction coils surrounding a vertical retort, said retort possesses compartments made of steel walls, which walls are heated by induction. The charge material made up of ore and coal are pre-mixed and charged into said compartments at the top of the retort and the iron ore is reduced while descending within said compartments so that when the charged materials reach the bottom of said compartments, the iron ore is metallized to elemental iron. A discharge means removes sections of the metallized iron from said shaft at a temperature of around 1,800.degree. and is fed into a mixer for liquification, desulfurization, and deganguing. The molten iron from the mixer is tapped into a ladle and is of high-quality iron equal in quality to blast furnace iron and suitable for charging directly into a steel making furnace. The slag material in the mixer is periodically removed from the mixer for disposal. In instances where the iron cannot be used in a molten state, it is passed through a pigging machine where it is solidified into pigs for subsequent use as a solid charge.

A method for upgrading a petroleum material comprises charging the material into a vessel having a cylindrical wall, then heating the cylindrical wall. The petroleum material adjacent the wall is heated to a temperature sufficient to form a layer of carbon on the wall, and volatile material generated at the wall during the carbon formation passes through the bulk of the petroleum material thermally cracking it to form smaller molecules and simultaneously desulfurizing same.

A method of reducing iron oxide by induction heating. The method involves the following steps:(a) charging iron oxide and a carbonaceous material into the inlet end of a plurality of compartments whose walls comprise a material which is adaptable to being heated by induction wherein the plurality of compartments commonly share an induction coil means which surrounds the plurality of compartments and the induction coil means does not individually surround any of the compartments;(b) heating the walls of the compartments by the induction coil means to cause the metallization of the iron oxide by the reducing agents contained in the carbonaceous material;(c) discharging metallized iron from an outlet end of the plurality of compartments;(d) forcing the gaseous products generated by the reaction of the iron oxide and the reducing agents of the carbonaceous material, to flow toward the outlet end of the compartments to increase the efficiency of metallization; and(e) collecting the gaseous products resulting from the metallization of the iron oxide.
摘要:
An improved method for generating gas from coal including caking and high sulfur coals, in a completely enclosed system wherein no oxygen or air is used to burn a portion of the coal and/or char to produce heat for the reaction. The heat for the reaction of the instant invention is produced by electric induction coils surrounding a vertical retort which possesses a plurality of compartments or cells whose walls are heated by induction. Energy requirement is reduced by pressurizing and methanating within the compartments in order to benefit from exothermic reaction of the methane formation. The coal charged is heated by said walls so that the coal is converted from coal to coke or char by driving the volatiles from the coal in a controlled and efficient manner. The char is further kept hot by the same heated walls of said compartments and also by direct induction to make possible the generation of gas, mainly CO and H.sub.2 by reacting steam with said hot char. The coal is charged at the top of said retort, in a sealed manner and the ash removed from the bottom without causing pollution. The conditions within said compartments are such that the CO formed is made to react with the H.sub.2 in the coal as the CO rises to form CH.sub.4 and H.sub.2 O and give off heat to result in reducing the heat energy induced by the induction coils. The hot generated methanated gas rises within said retort and leaves it at the top thence it is directed to a desulfurizer for cleaning. The gas is then used in different ways.

The improvement in method and apparatus for basic oxygen steel making employing the off-gas principle for pre-heating purposes. This improvement involves the directing of the off-gas from a first furnace during refining to a second furnace, and burning said off-gas within the second furnace efficiently in order to preheat scrap and/or iron pellets in order to decrease the charge of molten pig iron and increase the solid charge. At the conclusion of the refining portion of the cycle, said first furnace is emptied of its steel and the cold charge is introduced into it while molten pig iron is charged into said second furnace on top of the pre-heated scrap. The cycle is then reversed by refining in said second furnace and directing said off-gas to said first furnace where it is mixed with oxygen or air and burnt within it to provide energy for the pre-heat. The method and apparatus provide for the protection of the lining and gives consideration to maintenance and pollution control. This improvement makes use of the off-gas which is generally wasted and in this manner conserves an appreciable amount of energy.
摘要:
An improved method and apparatus for by-product coke oven operation wherein the problems of pollution caused by gases leaking out of the oven during the coking cycle are eliminated by providing an improved coke oven door using the metal-to-metal contact principle. Because of thermal conditions the distortion of the jambs and the distortion of the doors themselves takes place thus making the sealing of coke oven doors very difficult; this in particular is very serious with respect to high ovens. This distortion being of such form that the distortion of the jamb occurs in the opposite direction of the distortion of the oven door. This invention compensates for such distortion and makes possible the proper fit up of the door to a particular jamb irrespective of the degree of distortion.
摘要:
A method of generating a de-sulphurized volatile matter and a relatively low Btu gas includes the initial step of pyrolyzing coal to produce volatile matter and a char. The volatile matter is fed to a first de-sulphurizer containing a de-sulphurizing agent to remove sulphur therefrom. At the same time, the char is gasified to produce a relatively low Btu gas. The low Btu gas is fed to a second de-sulphurizer containing the de-sulphurizing agent to remove sulphur therefrom. A regenerator is provided for removing sulphur from the de-sulphurizing agent. Portions of the de-sulphurizing agent are moved among the first de-sulphurizer, the second de-sulphurizer, and the regenerator such that the regenerator regenerates the de-sulphurizing agent. Preferably, the portions of the de-sulphurizing agent are moved from the second de-sulphurizer to the first de-sulphurizer, from the first de-sulphurizer to the regenerator, and from the regenerator to the second de-sulphurizer.
