Abstract: A method for discharging a reduced product produced on a movable hearth of a movable-hearth furnace uses a discharging device. The discharging device includes a removal unit for removing the reduced product from the movable hearth, a separation unit for separating the reduced product from a solid reductant, a leaving-returning unit for either leaving substances other than the reduced product on a solid reductant layer or returning the substances onto the solid reductant layer, and a discharge unit for discharging the reduced product to the outside of the movable-hearth furnace.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for charging a raw material and a carbonaceous material, in which a reduced product generated on a hearth can be quickly melted for reliable separation into a metal and slag, and the metal and the slag can be easily discharged out of a furnace as individual small agglomerates. With the charging method and apparatus, when charging the raw material and the carbonaceous material onto the moving hearth of the moving hearth furnace, the carbonaceous material is first charged onto the moving hearth to form a carbonaceous material layer thereon. The raw material or a mixture of the raw material and a carbonaceous material is then charged onto the carbonaceous material layer to form a raw material layer thereon. A projection is then pressed against the raw material layer from above, thereby forming a plurality of recesses in the surface of the carbonaceous material layer.

Abstract: Traveling hearth furnace and an operating method thereof, which, when stacking a layer consisting of a mixture of oxides such as fine iron ore and a fine solid reducing material onto a horizontally traveling hearth and reducing the oxides through radiant heat transfer from above the hearth, is based on melting the reduction product in the course of up to a discharge port, and causing aggregation and separation of slag in from the reduction product, followed by solidifying the reducible material.

Abstract: A mixed layer of fine ore and coal char and a layer of fine coal are stacked on a hearth in the form of separate layers from each other. The fine ore is reduced while fine coal is pyrolyzed to produce coal char. The produced coal char is used repeatedly.

Abstract: With a solid fine reducing material containing hydrogen placed as a lower layer on a movable hearth, a powdered mixture of an oxide powder dominantly of a fine iron ore and a solid fine reducing material is stacked in layered arrangement, and subsequent reduction operation is performed.

Abstract: A traveling hearth for producing reduced metal by charging and stacking a raw material containing a metal-containing material and a solid-reducing material on a horizontally moving hearth, arranged for disposing a solid-reducing material layer on the hearth, forming concave portions at the solid-reducing material surface, stacking the raw material on the surface of the solid-reducing material layer, reducing the raw material by at least once heating and melting the material on the hearth to separate metal and gangue and ash ingredients, and discharging metal from the hearth.

Abstract: A feed stock composed of an iron ore and a solid reducing material is supplied in a movable hearth furnace provided with a unidirectionally movable hearth, stacked on the movable hearth and then subjected to a series of operations of preheating, reduction and discharge. To this end, a feed stock subsequently supplied in such furnace is preheated by utilizing a heat applied by the finished reduced ore and is stacked on the movable hearth.
