Abstract: A process for direct smelting metalliferous feed material is disclosed. Iron oxides are partially reduced in a solid state in a pre- reduction vessel. The partially reduced iron oxides are smelted to molten iron in a direct smelting vessel which contains a molten bath of iron and slag and is supplied with a solid carbonaceous material as a source of reductant and energy and with an oxygen containing gas for post-combusting carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated in the vessel. The direct smelting step generates an off-gas that contains sulphur and the off-gas is released from the direct smelting vessel. Part only of the off-gas released from the direct smelting vessel is used in the pre-reduction step to pre-reduce iron oxides in the pre-reduction vessel. Part only of the off-gas is used in the pre-reduction step in order to control the amount of sulphur that is returned with the partially reduced iron oxides to the direct smelting vessel.

Abstract: A molten-bath based direct smelting process and apparatus for producing meta ls from a ferrous material is disclosed. The process includes injecting feed materials being solid material and carrier gas into a molten bath at a velocity of at least 40m/s through at least one downwardly extending solids injection lance having a delivery tube of internal diameter of 40-200mm that is located so that a central axis of an outlet end of the lance is at an ang le of 20 to 90 degrees to a horizontal axis. The feed materials injection generates a superficial gas flow of at least 0.04 Nm3/s/m2 within the molten bath at least in part by reactions of injected material in the bath. The gas flow causes molten material to be projected upwardly as splashes, droplets a nd streams and form an expanded molten bath zone, with the gas flow and the upwardly projected molten material causing substantial movement of material within the molten bath and strong mixing of the molten bath. The feed materials are selected so that, in an overall sense, the reactions of the fe ed materials in the molten bath are endothermic. The process also includes injecting an oxygen-containing gas into an upper region of the vessel via at least one oxygen gas injection lance and post-combusting combustible gases released from the molten bath.

Abstract: A process for direct smelting a metalliferous feed material is disclosed. Char and fuel gas are produced by pre-treating coal with an oxygen-containing gas. The fuel gas is used to heat an oxygen-containing gas and/or to produce an oxygen-containing gas in an oxygen plant. Metalliferous feed material, char, and the oxygen-containing gas are injected into a direct smelting vessel, and the metalliferous feed material is smelted to molten metal in the direct smelting vessel using the char as a source of energy and as a reductant.

Abstract: A direct smelting vessel which is adapted to contain a molten bath of metal and slag is disclosed. The vessel includes an off-gas duct that has: (a) a first section which has a relatively slight upward inclination to the horizontal from an inlet end of the first section; and (b) a second section which extends upwardly from an upper end of the first section at a relatively steep inclination to the horizontal.

Abstract: A method of producing metals and metal alloys from metal oxides is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of partially pre-reducing the metal oxides to a pre-reduction degree of at least 60% in one or more pre-reduction stages. Thereafter, the method comprises completely reducing the metal oxides and melting the metal in a smelt reduction stage. The method is further characterized by carrying out at least one of the pre-reduction stages with one or more of natural gas, reformed natural gas, and partially reformed natural gas as a source of reductant.

Abstract: The production of highly metallized feed, an intermediate product produced solely by gaseous reductants in two stage reduction processes of that kind, encounters sticking problems, which interfere with continuous processing and productivity. This problem has been overcome by exploiting a high volatile carbonaceous material, such as coal, as the reducing agent for the (partially reduced) oxide ore starting material in the solid state prereduction stage of a duplex process, in which the final stage consists of smelting, to produce the final metal (alloy). Intermediate products of the first stage are char from the coal, which avoids the sticking problem, partially reduced ore and CO and H2, which participate in the prereduction. The process has particular application to iron ores, such as haematite and magnetite and similar derivatives, namely, chromite and oxidic nickel ores. The process may be extended to a triplex, which includes drying, preheating and partial reduction in the first stage, followed by further partial reduction and finally the smelting step. The final stage of solid state reduction takes place at a temperature of at least 550° C., preferably 750-900° C. At least 50% of metallization is essential for satisfactory processing, preferably at least 80%.

Abstract: A method for producing direct reduced iron ("DRI") from iron ore and biomass is disclosed. The method includes heating a batch of iron ore and biomass in each oven chamber of a non-recovery batch oven by a combination (i) the thermal mass of a lining of the oven chamber and (ii) combustion of a fuel gas from at least one other oven chamber and at least partially reducing the iron ore and forming DRI. The method also includes discharging gases from the oven chamber through passageways in a wall and a floor of the oven chamber and further combusting combustible gases and transferring heat to the wall and the floor of the oven chamber as the gases move through the passageways. The method also includes discharging at least a portion of gases from the oven chamber, without passing the gases through passageways in the floor of the oven chamber, and using these gases as a fuel gas in subsequent combustion heating in other batch oven chambers when a first predetermined trigger point is reached. A non-recovery batch oven is also disclosed.
