  • Publication number: 20220002826
    Abstract: A device for manufacturing molten iron is provided. The device for manufacturing the molten iron includes a multi-stage fluidized reduction furnace for reducing a powdered iron ore including hematite and limonite, a melting gas furnace connected to the fluidized reduction furnace through an ore conduit and a gas conduit, a fluidized bed oxidation furnace for oxidizing magnetite to be converted into hematite through steam provided from the fluidized reduction furnace, and a hydrogen processing unit for processing hydrogen generated by the oxidation reaction of magnetite in the fluidized bed oxidation furnace.

  • Patent number: 9994928
    Abstract: There is provided a method and system for recycling by-products containing large amounts of useful components and discharged in the form of dust and sludge from a coal-based molten iron making process to reuse the by-products in a reduced iron agglomeration process. The system includes: a fluidized reduction furnace reducing fine iron ore; a reduced iron tank connected to the fluidized reduction furnace through a reduced iron discharge pipe for storing the reduced iron and supplying the reduced iron in an agglomeration system; an agglomeration system agglomerating the reduced iron transferred from the reduced iron tank; and a transfer unit transferring compactions of by-products discharged from a molten iron making process through a by-product supply pipe. The compactions of the by-products are supplied to at least one selected from the group consisting of the fluidized reduction furnace, the reduced iron supply pipe, and the reduced iron tank.
