    摘要: A process for producing DRI from iron ores, utilizing a gas produced from fossil fuels, containing sulfur compounds and BTX, heating said gas in a heater, preferably a regenerator, wherein heat is transferred from a previously-heated solid material to the gas. Flowing the hot gas through a bed of DRI particles, iron oxides or other equivalent material, outside of the reduction reactor, where said material adsorbs sulfur compounds and destroys BTX. The resulting gas, free from sulfur compounds and BTX, is combined with a reducing gas stream from the reduction reactor after H2O and CO2 is at least partially removed for regenerating its reducing potential, with or without undergoing previous cleaning, is used for producing DRI. One inventive embodiment comprises producing DRI at high temperature giving advantageously higher productivity and energy savings when using hot DRI in an electric arc furnace lowering the capital and operational costs of steelmaking.

    摘要: A method of operating a shaft furnace includes inserting a mixture including anthracite coal and coke into a cavity defined by the furnace, and disposing a metal feedstock within the cavity. The method includes injecting natural gas at a natural gas flow rate and a first quantity of oxygen gas at a first oxygen gas flow rate into the cavity simultaneously through at least one burner. The method also includes driving a second quantity of oxygen gas at a supersonic oxygen gas flow rate into the cavity through at least one lance, wherein the supersonic oxygen gas flow rate is greater than the first oxygen gas flow rate. The method also includes combusting the mixture within the cavity to produce a stack gas, melting the metal feedstock to produce a melted metal material, and monitoring the stack gas to thereby operate the shaft furnace. A shaft furnace is also disclosed.
