  • Patent number: 9821381
    Abstract: Apparatus for supplying diluted gaseous fuel to not more than a lower limit combustion concentration at downstream of suction type sintering machine including a hood having similar width as a circularly-moving pallet and arranged above charged layer to surround the pallet in all directions, pipes disposed at upper position of charged layer in the hood and supplying the fuel air inside the hood, baffle plates formed by arranging plate materials having dog-leg shaped cross-section in plural rows and steps at intervals in the widthwise and height directions, respectively, of the hood to make each interval formed between adjacent plate materials in widthwise direction of the hood in each steps vertically alternate; fences having a void and arranged on both sides upper ends of the hood; vortex suppressing plates formed between fences at intervals having a void ratio, 20˜80%; whereby the gaseous fuel leakage supplied to the outside is prevented.

  • Patent number: 9574251
    Abstract: A method of producing a sintered ore includes charging a sintering raw material containing a powder ore and a carbonaceous material onto a circulatory moving pallet to form a charged layer, igniting the carbonaceous material on a surface of the charged layer, introducing air above the charged layer containing a gaseous fuel diluted to not more than a lower limit of combustion concentration with wind boxes arranged below the pallet into the charged layer by suction, and combusting the gaseous fuel and the carbonaceous material in the charged layer, wherein more than 50% of a total supply of the gaseous fuel is supplied in a front ½ portion of a region supplying the gaseous fuel.

  • Patent number: 9534272
    Abstract: Method for producing sintered ore in which air above a charged layer containing a gaseous fuel supplied from a plurality of gaseous fuel supplying devices installed in a machine length direction on a downstream of an ignition furnace of a sintering machine is sucked by a wind box disposed below a pallet and is introduced into the charged layer, and the gaseous fuel and the carbon material are combusted inside the charged layer to produce the sintered ore, wherein a total amount of supply of the gaseous fuel supplied from the gaseous fuel supplying devices is set to be constant, the amount of supply of the gaseous fuel supplied from each gaseous fuel supplying devices is increased or decreased depending on an amount of air sucked into the charged layer in a region which each gaseous fuel supplying device is installed, thereby optimizing a supply ratio of the gaseous fuel.

  • Patent number: 8298316
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20110036204
    Abstract: 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.
