Abstract: A method for producing liquid pig iron or liquid steel intermediate products from fine-particled material containing iron oxide. Fine-particled material containing iron oxide is prereduced in at least one prereduction stage with the aid of a reduction gas and is subsequently reduced in a final reduction stage to sponge iron. The sponge iron is melted in a melt-down gasification zone, with carbon carriers and oxygen-containing gas supplied. A CO- and H2-containing reduction gas is generated. That gas is introduced into the final reduction stage, is converted there, is drawn off and is subsequently introduced into at least one prereduction stage, converted there and drawn off. So that the melt-down gasifier can be operated with a higher power output, the production process consequently proceeds in a more stable way and partial combustions necessary hitherto in the reduction gas lines are to be avoided.
