Abstract:
A method and a device for separating particulate solids from a gas flow, particularly a carrier gas flow for transporting the particulate solids, has a transport line (2) that leads into a separating chamber (5), a connected dry filter (9) for separating dusts and/or fine particulate solids, a discharge line (12) for conducting away the cleaned gas flow, and a storage container (1) for holding the separated particulate solids. The dry filter is equipped with backwash units for cleaning the dry filter.
Abstract:
A melter gasifier of a smelting reduction installation is charged by bringing together coal-containing material in lump form and iron carrier material (which may be hot) before and/or while they enter the melter gasifier. The ratio of the combined amounts of iron carrier material and coal-containing material in lump form is variable. The combined amounts of iron carrier material and coal-containing material in lump form are distributed over the cross section of the melter gasifier by a dynamic distributing device, and the ratio of the combined amounts of the iron carrier material and coal-containing material in lump form is set depending on the position of the dynamic distributing device.
Abstract:
In a method and an apparatus for separating at least one gaseous component from a waste gas of an installation for producing liquid pig iron, liquid primary steel products or sponge iron, in a first step, a stream of the waste gas passes through at least one adsorption separator at a first pressure, whereby the gaseous component is largely separated from the waste gas and, in a second step, the gaseous component is largely removed from the adsorption separator at a second pressure, which is lower than the first pressure. The method and apparatus are maintenance-free, cause low investment and energy costs and has a lower space requirement by a method in which the second pressure or the desorption pressure is generated by at least one jet pump, which is fed a stream of a propellant gas at a third pressure, which is higher than the second pressure.
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing pressed articles which contain direct-reduced, fine particulate iron (direct reduced iron, DRI) from a fluidized bed reduction system for direct reduction of fine particulate iron ore, wherein direct-reduced, fine particulate iron produced in the fluidized bed reduction system during direct reduction is compacted into pressed articles. Dry, fine particulate material containing at least fine particulate iron ore and optionally fine particulate iron and carbon is admixed to the direct-reduced fine particulate iron and the mixture thus obtained is subsequently compacted into pressed articles. An apparatus for carrying out such method is also provided.
Abstract:
In a method for the production of molten metal, oxygen, a reducing agent and iron reduced in a reduction reactor are introduced into a melt gasifier, the reducing agent is gasified with oxygen and the reduced iron is melted by the heat which occurs, the cupola gas being used as at least a fraction of the reduction gas. Reacted top gas is drawn off from the reduction reactor. For increased efficiency at least part of the heat energy of the top gas and/or of the fraction of the reduction gas which is provided for use as cooling gas and as excess gas to be utilized for the indirect heating of at least one further gas used in the method.
Abstract:
A method for producing molten material, wherein oxygen, reducing agents and iron that has been reduced in a reduction reactor are introduced into a melter gasifier. The reducing agent is gasified with the oxygen and the heat thereby produced melts the reduced iron. Cupola gas from the melter gasifier is used at least as a portion of the reduction gas, and reacted top gas is withdrawn from the reduction reactor. The aim of the invention is to increase energy efficiency and raw material efficiency as well as productivity while at the same time obtaining metallurgically improved properties of the product. For this purpose, at least a portion of the top gas is branched off from the line for the withdrawal of the top gas from the reduction reactor and is returned via at least one return line leading to the melter gasifier and is introduced into the melter gasifier.
