Abstract: Carbon iron composite is produced by feeding a formed product of a carbon-containing substance and an iron-containing substance into a carbonization furnace, carbonizing the formed product in a carbonization zone, blowing a coolant gas into the furnace through a coolant-gas-blowing tuyere disposed in a cooling zone to cool carbon iron composite, exhausting a furnace gas through an outlet in a top portion, and discharging the carbon iron composite through a lower portion of the cooling zone.

Abstract: A coke layer and an ore layer are formed in a blast furnace. The coke layer is formed of conventional coke and the ore layer is formed of carbon iron composite, conventional coke, and ore. The mixing percentage of the conventional coke in the ore layer with respect to the ore is 0.5 mass % or more. Slowing of the gasification reaction of carbon iron composite in the cohesive zone can be suppressed.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing metallurgical formed carbon iron composite, in which the particle size of a raw material iron ore is optimized in the manufacture of carbon iron composite having a relatively small particle size so as to manufacture high-strength carbon iron composite while maintaining a target reduction ratio. The method for manufacturing carbon iron composite includes mixing coal and iron ore having a maximum particle size of 1 to 2 mm to produce a briquetted material, and carbonizing the briquetted material. Preferably, the iron content of the iron ore is 63% by mass or less, the blending ratio of the iron ore is 40% by mass or less relative to the total amount of coal and iron ore, and the iron ore is undersize of a 1- to 2-mm mesh screen.

Abstract: A method for treating combustible wastes comprises the steps of: carbonizing combustible wastes to produce carbonized products and a combustible gas; contacting an exhaust gas from a process with said carbonized products to purify the exhaust gas; and recovering the carbonized products in the exhaust gas. The carbonizing is carried out at a temperature of 400° C. or higher.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermosetting coating composition for precoated steel sheets which are required to have high hardness, good workability and stain resistance, to a precoated steel sheet having a film of the coating composition, and to a method for producing such precoated steel sheets.

Abstract: This invention relates to a coating composition for precoated steel sheets which are required to have high hardness, high workability and high distinctness of image, and to a method for producing a precoated steel sheet having a coating film of the composition. The composition is prepared by adding a compound of any of the following (a) to (c) to a coating composition consisting essentially of a polyol and containing, as the curing agent, an isocyanate compound or an amino resin, and the coating film of the composition has both high-level workability and high-level hardness.(a) Polyester compounds comprising main repeating units of a general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein n is an integer; and R is an alkylene group having 10 or less carbon atoms, or a 1,4-cyclohexylene-dimethylene group, or a neopentylene group, or a polyoxyalkylene group.
