    摘要: A method and an integrated steel plant wherein, instead of using coke oven gases, converter gases and blast furnace top gases available as fuel for power generation or other heating purposes, these gases are more efficiently utilized as chemical agents for direct reduction of iron ores producing DRI.DRI is charged to blast furnaces increasing production of crude steel without increasing the capacities of the coke oven plant and blast furnaces and without changes in the quality of the crude steel, or, if production rate is maintained, the fossil fuels specific consumption is significantly reduced.Utilisation of primary fossil energy according to the invention also reduces the specific CO2 emissions per ton of crude steel. The specific CO2 emission in conventional integrated mills is about 1.6 tons of CO2 per ton of crude steel.

    摘要: A direct reduction plant for the production of a metallized product (DRI) by the reduction of iron ores in lump or pellet form, wherein the reducing gas utilized in the DRI reactor contains acid gases such as sulphur compounds and carbon dioxide. The make-up reducing gases are typically produced by partial oxidation of hydrocarbons (syngas) at a high pressure while the DRI reactor is usually operated at a lower pressure. The pressure level of the reducing gas effluent from the DRI reactor (top gas), after cooling and dewatering, is increased to the pressure level of the syngas and the resulting recycle reducing gas is then combined with the make-up syngas and treated in a single acid-gas absorption unit forming a combined stream of clean upgraded reducing gas which thereafter is expanded in a turbine for lowering combined reducing gas pressure to the pressure level of the DRI reactor and is then heated to a temperature preferably above 950° C. and used in the DRI reactor for producing said DRI. The compressor for raising the pressure of the initially cool recycle gas uses energy from the expansion turbine (used for lowering the pressure of the high-pressure combined reducing gas).

    摘要: A process for reducing iron ore particles in a moving bed reduction reactor comprising an upper reduction zone and a lower discharge zone, wherein the coke oven gas, preferably forming all the make-up for the reducing gas circulating through and reacting in said reduction zone, is first fed to said discharge (cooling) zone and thereafter said coke oven gas, conditioned by the DRI in the lower zone, is withdrawn from the reactor and fed preferably into the recycled reducing gas for injection into the reduction zone of the reactor. Heavy hydrocarbons and other components of coke oven gas which may otherwise cause fouling, corrosion, or deposits in the direct reduction plant are removed from coke oven gas by catalytic and/or adsorptive action of the DRI present in said lower zone, before being externally transferred to the reduction zone of the reduction reactor.

    摘要: A process for the gaseous reduction of iron ore to sponge in a vertical shaft, moving bed reactor wherein a hot gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide generated by the internal steam reformation of gaseous hydrocarbon(s), preferably methane or natural gas, is used to reduce the ore without the need for any external catalytic reformer. A reducing gas recycle loop is established to which hydrocarbon and reclaimed waste hot water are fed in the proper proportions as the reducing gas make-up source with the sponge iron produced in the reduction reactor being used to catalyze hydrocarbon reformation, and with the carbon content of the recycled gas being maintained low by removing carbon dioxide therefrom. High overall process thermal efficiency and lowered operating and capital costs are achieved by establishing hot water (and optional steam) loops wherein all process hot water/steam requirements are met through the utilization of hot water discharge from the quench cooler and advantageously also the generation of steam by the reclamation of waste heat from spent hot reducing gas leaving the reactor, thereby eliminating the need for importing costly process steam and reducing the size needed for cooling towers and water treatment units.
