A processed DRI material having an average surface roughness (Ra) of less than 1.5 μm is disclosed. A method and system for making processed DRI are also disclosed. One embodiment of the method and system may include assembling a rotatable chamber having an internal screen capable of supporting DRI during tumbling, with at least one opening in the chamber to permit fines to exit the chamber during tumbling, and delivering DRI into the chamber to tumble the DRI on the screen to remove fines from the DRI. Another embodiment of the method and system may include assembling a rotatable chamber having a feed end and an exit end, and having a screen therein capable of supporting DRI as the DRI moves through the chamber, and delivering DRI to the chamber and rotating the chamber to tumble the DRI while removing fines.

A method for the production of iron from an iron oxide-containing material includes contacting an iron oxide-containing material with a particle size distribution range with a ∂90 of less than 2 mm, with a carbon-containing material with a particle size distribution range with a ∂90 of less than 6 mm, in a commercial scale reactor at a temperature of between 900° C. and 1200° C. for a contact time sufficient to reduce the iron oxide to iron.
摘要:
A manufacturing plant and process for producing steel from iron ore, at the iron ore mine, using a locally produced hydrogen as the reducing agent, where the hydrogen is produced through the electrolysis of water, using electricity generated by a wind power generator, thereby producing the cheapest possible reducing agent, on the mine site and producing steel with only oxygen and water vapor as the effluents from the process.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for reducing iron oxides using microwave heating in a furnace chamber which is sealed against the entrance of air reduces the energy required and produces a low temperature reduction and allows the recovery of combustible synthetic gas as a byproduct of the process. Avoidance of the reduction of sulfur, phorphorus and silica is also insured, as is the need to reduce the silica content of the feed material prior to reducing the ore. A continuous rotary hearth furnace, a rotary kiln, a linear conveyor and vertical shaft furnace chamber configurations are described. A secondary heating zone can also be included to process the reduced iron into iron nuggets or liquid metallic iron.
摘要:
A method of pyroprocessing mineral ores, such as iron ore. The method includes receiving a preheated product stream of iron-containing pellets at an infeed end of a rotary kiln and introducing an oxidizing gas into the tumbling bed toward the infeed end of the rotary kiln. Additionally, a combustible fuel is introduced through ports above the tumbling bed such that combustion of the introduced fuel increases the temperature of the product stream toward the infeed end. The increase in the temperature of the product stream allows the intensity of the flame from the centerline burner to be decreased, resulting in a reduction in the production of NOx. The apparatus for introducing both the oxidizing gas and fuel into the rotary kiln are common with each other.
摘要:
A process for treating iron-bearing material with a carbonaceous material to form a mixture, wherein the amount of carbonaceous material added exceeds the stoichiometric amount required to reduce the metal oxide to elemental metal. In one embodiment, the process also includes blending an organic binder with the mixture. The mixture is agglomerated using compaction to bond the mixture and form green compacts. The green compacts are loaded into a heated furnace and heated for about 5-12 minutes at a temperature of between about 2100.degree.-2500.degree. F. and at a CO/CO.sub.2 ratio of about 1.5-2.5 proximate the discharge area to reduce the iron oxide containing compacts to compacts containing elemental iron and an excess amount of carbonaceous material wherein the excess amount of carbonaceous material counteracts re-oxidation of the elemental iron. The reduced compacts are then discharged from the furnace. The furnace includes counterflow and co-flow exhaust to maintain the charge area and the discharge area of the furnace at a pressure about equal to atmospheric pressure.

摘要:
The invented pellet reclamation process includes forming green pellets of a mixture of steel furnace dust, a carbonaceous material such as coal, charcoal, lignite, petroleum coke, or coke, and an organic binder. The green pellets are fed over a layer of burnt pellets on a rotary hearth furnace which successively conveys the pellets first through a drying and coking zone in which the pellets are dried and any volatile matter driven out of the carbonaceous material. The pellets then travel through a reduction zone where the pellets are subjected to a higher temperature at which the contained iron oxide is reduced and remains within the pellets and the zinc, lead and cadmium oxides are reduced, volatilized, re-oxidized and carried off as oxides in the waste gases. The reduced pellets (DRI) are ultimately carried into a discharge zone where they are discharged from the rotary hearth furnace. An apparatus for performing the process is also disclosed.

A method and a means for continuously producing a preformed metal product through direct reduction of a material containing ferric oxide in a shaft furnace and feeding the product manufactured in the shaft furnace via a gas lock into a hot preforming machine, the hot product obtained from the shaft furnace being kept at the temperature required for the subsequent hot preforming process, preferably at least about 550.degree. C., by means of hot, non-combustible gas consisting primarily of N.sub.2 and/or CO.sub.2 which has been heated by excess heat from the shaft furnace.
摘要:
In the direct reduction of iron ore, there is recovered a solid mixture of carbonaceous reductant and used flux, followed by dispersion of the mixture in an aqueous liquid and carbonation of the flux in the mixture in order to enable effective separation of the used flux from the carbonaceous reductant. After separation, the carbonaceous reductant is recycled to the reducing of iron ore.
