Patent number: 8298316Abstract: In a method for producing pig iron using iron ore with a high content of zinc, a blast furnace raw material 2 is produced using iron ore with a high content of zinc which contains 0.01 mass % or more of zinc and 50 mass % or more of iron, pig iron is produced by charging the blast furnace raw material 2 into a blast furnace 1 and, at the same time, zinc-containing dust 4 in a blast furnace discharge gas is recovered, and zinc 6 is recovered from the zinc-containing dust 4 using a reduction furnace 5. A mixed raw material into which the zinc-containing dust 4, a carbonaceous solid reducing material and a slag-making material are mixed is preferably charged on a movable hearth, and the mixed raw material is preferably reduced by supplying heat from an upper portion of the movable hearth so as to recover zinc 6 while producing reduced iron 7.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: JFE Steel CorporationInventors: Natsuo Ishiwata, Hiroyuki Hiroha, Koichi Nushiro, Atsushi Sakai

Publication number: 20110036204Abstract: A method for producing reduced iron includes: a step of preparing a mixed raw material; a mixed raw material charging step; and a reducing step. In the step of preparing the mixed raw material, the mixed raw material which contains iron ore (X) containing iron ore with a high content of zinc (A) which contains 0.01 mass % or more of zinc and 50 mass % or more of iron, and a carbonaceous solid reducing material is prepared. In the mixed raw material charging step, the mixed raw material is charged on a movable hearth. In the reducing step, a reduced product is obtained by reducing the mixed raw material charged on the movable hearth by supplying heat to the mixed raw material from above the hearth.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2009Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: JFE STEEL CORPORATIONInventors: Natsuo Ishiwata, Hiroyuki Hiroha, Koichi Nushiro
