  • Process for the production of carburized sponge iron briquettes
    Patent number: 4178170
    Abstract: In the direct reduction of iron ore in a series of fluidized beds, for the production of carburized iron sponge briquettes for use in electric furnaces, carburization is carried out after the last fluidized bed, at a temperature of 600.degree. to 700.degree. C., by batching the reduced iron powder with a solid finely divided carbonaceous material and then briquetting the mixture, in an inert atmosphere.

  • Iron ore reduction in multiple fluidized beds
    Patent number: 3985547
    Abstract: Iron ore is reduced in a multiple fluid bed reactor, the beds being vertically superposed in a tower and the ore passing by gravity downwardly from bed to bed. The lowermost and all superposed beds are fluidized by off gases from which carbon dioxide and water have been stripped; while a further portion of the fluidizing and reducing gas is provided by combusting methane with a substoichiometric quantity of oxygen and introducing the combustion products into an intermediate level of the column.
