Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for producing e.g. anhydrous metal oxide from metal hydroxide, wherein the metal hydroxide is at least partly dehydrated and preheated, before the metal hydroxide is introduced into a fluidized-bed reactor (19), in which the metal hydroxide is heated to a temperature of about 650 to about 1250°C by combustion of fuel, and metal oxide is generated, wherein primary air and/or secondary air enriched with oxygen is supplied to the fluidized-bed reactor (19). To achieve a rather low dust emission and a small amount of grain disintegration, the oxygen or the gas enriched with oxygen is introduced into the fluidized-bed reactor (19) with a low gas velocity.

Abstract:
Process for producing Iron carbide wherein, in a first stage, Iron ore is reduced to sponge iron using a reducing gas containing at least 90% hydrogen, on a nitrogen-free basis, to produce a sponge iron having a carbon content of less than 1% wt.; then in a second stage the sponge iron is fluidized at a temperature of 500 to 800° C. with a methane-containing fluidizing gas in a fluidized bed reactor wherein the water content of the gas in the reactor is not more than 1.5% wt., to produce a product wherein at least 85% of the iron content is in the form of Fe3C.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a metallurgical process for the production and/or treatment of at least one metal or ore in a reactor (1, 3), from which a waste gas stream loaded with molten particles and/or vaporous constituents is discharged via a waste gas conduit (7) and subjected to an aftertreatment by supplying at least one cooling gas or cooling gas mixture. On the side of the waste gas conduit (7) facing the reactor (1, 3) a cooling gas or cooling gas mixture (9), whose temperature is lower than that of the waste gas stream, is injected into the waste gas conduit (7) with a high velocity. Furthermore, this invention relates to a corresponding plant.
Abstract:
The method for the distribution of a solid flow (m 0) drawn-off from a cyclone or a fluidized bed container (1), comprises conducting the solid flow (m 0) over a first down pipe (7) and then fluidizing at the bottom of the down pipe by supplying a carrier gas, conveying a part of the solid flow (m 1) towards the top by the carrier gas over a first riser (9) branching off from the first down pipe, leading away the remaining part of the solid flow (m 0) over a second down pipe (13) adjacent itself to the first down pipe and then fluidizing at the bottom of the second down pipe. The method for the distribution of a solid flow (m 0) drawn-off from a cyclone or a fluidized bed container (1), comprises conducting the solid flow (m 0) over a first down pipe (7) and then fluidizing at the bottom of the down pipe by supplying a carrier gas, conveying a part of the solid flow (m 1) towards the top by the carrier gas over a first riser (9) branching off from the first down pipe, leading away the remaining part of the solid flow (m 0) over a second down pipe (13) adjacent itself to the first down pipe and then fluidizing at the bottom of the second down pipe by supplying the carrier gas, and conveying a part of the solid flow (m 2) towards the top by the carrier gas over a second riser (15) branching off from the second down pipe. The supply of the carrier gas is varied at the bottom of the first and/or the second down pipe. The pressure difference over the fluidized bed container is used as controlled variable for the supply of the carrier gas to the first or the second down pipe. The supply of the carrier gas is constantly held at the bottom of the first down pipe. The pressure difference between the bottom and the head of the first and/or the second down pipe is smaller than the pressure loss corresponding to the fluidized down pipe. The pressure at the bottom of each down pipe is larger than the pressure at the head of this down pipe. The conveying air is brought beneath the first and/or the second riser in each case over a downwardly arranged nozzle. The carrier gas is admitted with low volume flow for the interruption of the solid flow in a riser, so that the minimum fluidization speed is not exceeded in the riser. An independent claim is included for a device for the distribution of a solid flow drawn-off from a cyclone or a fluidized bed container.
Abstract:
A process for the production and/or treatment of at least one metal in a reactor includes discharging a waste gas stream via a waste gas conduit and after-treating the waste gas stream by supplying a cooling gas and/or a cooling gas mixture. The after-treating includes injecting the cooling gas and/or cooling gas mixture into the waste gas conduit on a side of the waste gas conduit facing the reactor, at a high velocity and substantially tangentially with respect to a main flow direction of the waste gas. A volume of the cooling gas and/or the cooling gas mixture injected into the waste gas conduit is adjusted so as to reduce a mixing temperature below a melting temperature of the molten particles and/or a condensation temperature of the vaporous constituents of the waste gas stream.
Abstract:
The method involves drawing off of a solid flow by a down pipe (6), and fluidizing the solid flow on a base (8) of the down pipe by a supply of carrier gas. The solid flow is transported to a high level by an ascending pipe (9) branched off by the down pipe, and dimension of the solid flow extracted by the ascending pipe is varied by variable supply of the carrier gas. The level of the flow or solid stock in a solid container is used as a controlled variable, and a volume flow of the carrier gas is used as a correcting variable of a control loop. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for regulating a temperature and/or mixing ratio in a mixing vessel (2) a device for regulating a level and/or solid stock in a solid container.
