摘要： A method and means for improving the efficiency of the process for directly reducing ore containing iron oxide in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal, introduced from the ore feed and discharge ends of the kiln, as both fuel and reductant, is disclosed wherein the charred coal or char found in the discharge product is recycled into the process at the discharge end of the kiln rather than the feed end as in the prior art. In particular, the recovered char, both coarse and finer particles, are transported to a recycle bin from which they are returned at a preselected rate to the kiln process by being injected along with the coal blown into the discharge end of the kiln. Alternatively, the recycle char alone may be fed without any coal at the discharge end of the kiln.

摘要： In the direct reduction process for reducing iron ore to sponge iron of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,890,138 to Hockin wherein all of the air supply tubes along the rotary kiln inject air toward the discharge end of the kiln it has been found that by reversing the direction of injection of the air from one or more of the tubes in the preheat zone of the kiln the condition of the off-gases can be considerably improved without affecting the process in the reduction zone and ultimately the quality of the resulting product and improved preheating of the kiln charge can be effected without the formation of undesirable kiln accretions.

摘要： A method and means for improved control of the process for directly reducing materials containing iron oxides in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal, introduced from the charge feed and discharge ends of the kiln, as the source of both fuel and reductant, and oxygen-containing gas introduced along the kiln length is disclosed wherein the portion of the reducing agent fed at the discharge end is blown as a stream in a prescribed manner into the discharge end of the kiln. In particular, the important features of the stream are described including its longitudinal distribution and axial spread over the charge bed, as well as its contact region with the kiln walls and the quandrants of the kiln barrel into which it is directed, whereby the bed and gas phase temperatures may be controlled and heat transfer to the bed enhanced.

摘要： A method and means for maintaining optimum operation of the process for directly reducing iron oxides in a rotary kiln, using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal fed at both the charge feed end and discharge end as the source of fuel and reductant, and oxygen-containing gases is disclosed wherein the DRI product, charred coal or char, and fine waste found in the kiln discharge materials from the discharge end are separated and measured for fixed carbon content and the process parameters may be adjusted to optimum by establishing an appropriate percentage by weight, in the range from 5% to 15%, of fixed carbon in the total of these discharge materials. This optimum condition may be monitored by establishing a particular level of char in the char recycle bin once the appropriate percentage by weight of fixed carbon is established in these discharge materials and optimum operation is maintained by maintaining the particular level of the char in the recycle bin and appropriately adjusting the coal feed and related parameters of the process if the char level rises or drops within the bin.

摘要： A method and means for improving control of the process for directly reducing ores containing iron oxide in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal, introduced from the ore feed and discharge ends of the kiln, as both fuel and reductant, is disclosed wherein the temperature profile of the moving bed of solids is maintained such that the temperature is moderated to remain below the sintering temperature of the materials in the bed from the feed end zone for about the first two-thirds of the kiln length and the temperature is then maximized within sintering limitations in the working zone which is limited to about the last third of the kiln length. The temperature profile is controlled by regulating the volumes of air supplied to the kiln atmosphere from air injectors at spaced intervals along the length of the kiln, after establishing the appropriate proportion of coal steadily blown into the discharge end of the kiln for the particular process constituents being used.

摘要： A method and means for maximizing the use of the kiln capacity in a rotary kiln, directly reducing metal oxides using solid carbonaceous materials as the source of fuel and reducant, is disclosed involving the creation of an annular dam arrangement within the kiln at a selected position between the feed end and the discharge end dams, which arrangement is located and dimensioned with respect to the end dams, such that the materials in the charge bed suitably fill the kiln volume and have sufficient residence time in the feed end portion of the kiln, to permit adequate heat transfer thereto, thus minimizing the portion of the kiln needed for preheating and maximizing the remaining portion of the kiln available for reduction. In a kiln of a given size, the spacing and dimensions of the end dams and one or more intermediate dams are designed in combination with the degree of kiln inclination, the kiln rotational speed and the required heat transfer rate to the surface of the charge bed to obtain a volume filling in the charge bed in the preheat zone, and hence a solids residence time therein, which is optimum so that the mass flow rate and the degree of metallization of the metal oxides may be maximized for the available kiln volume.

摘要： A method and means for improved control of the process for directly reducing materials containing iron oxides in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal, introduced from the charge feed and discharge ends of the kiln, as the source of both fuel and reductant, and oxygen-containing gas introduced along the kiln length, is disclosed wherein the portion of the reducing agent fed at the discharge end is injected in the form of two or more streams through the discharge end of the kiln onto the charge bed in such manner as to permit close and efficient control of the process, particularly when carried out in larger kilns. The important features in creating and distributing the streams over the bed are described including their longitudinal distribution and axial spread, as well as their contact regions with the kiln interior side walls and the quadrants of the kiln barrel into which they are directed, to meet the incremental heat demands along the successive segments of the charge bed, whereby the bed and gas phase temperatures may be controlled and heat transfer to the bed enhanced.
