20100024599 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MOLTEN MATERIAL - 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 Cupola gas from the melter gasifier is used at least as a portion of the reduction gas, and reacted top gas is withdrawn from the reduction reactor.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. | 02-04-2010 |
20100043599 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MOLTEN MATERIAL - 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 reduced iron is melted by means of 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. | 02-25-2010 |
20110229276 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING PARTICULATE SOLIDS FROM A GAS STREAM - 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 ( | 09-22-2011 |
20120036997 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING A GASEOUS COMPONENT - 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. | 02-16-2012 |
20120279356 | Process and Device for Charging Into a Smelting Unit - A process and a device for charging a primary product for pig iron into a smelting unit are provided. According to the process and device, some of the primary product that has been formed by reducing oxidic iron carriers is stored in the hot state in a reservoir tank before being supplied into the storage device or charging device that is directly connected to the smelting unit. | 11-08-2012 |
20120328465 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PRESSED ARTICLES - 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. | 12-27-2012 |
20130019716 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING CHARGE MATERIALS CONTAINING IRON ORE OR FOR PRODUCING PIG IRON OR LIQUID PRIMARY STEEL PRODUCTS - A process and an apparatus for reducing charge materials containing iron ore or for producing pig iron or liquid primary steel products in a smelting unit are provided, the charge materials being at least partially reduced in at least one reduction unit by means of a reducing gas and optionally at least some of the at least partially reduced charge materials being melted in a smelting unit while supplying coal or coke and gas containing oxygen, while simultaneously forming the reducing gas, and the reducing gas or a reducing gas generated externally being supplied to the reduction unit. In the event of an interruption in the production of pig iron or primary steel products, the at least one reduction unit is emptied and the at least partially reduced charge materials are introduced into at least one vessel and kept under a non-oxidizing shielding gas atmosphere. | 01-24-2013 |
20140110891 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHARGING COAL-CONTAINING MATERIAL AND IRON CARRIER MATERIAL - 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. | 04-24-2014 |
