Zusammenfassung: | Even in a case of using a starting material having a wide variation in properties or a degraded powdery iron oxide starting material having a high degree of oxidation, reduced iron with a high metallization ratio can be stably produced merely by additionally building a finish-reduction facility, said finish-reduction facility being less expensive and easily operable, without adding any large-scale modification to an existing rotary hearth type furnace. A method for producing reduced iron, said method comprising agglomerating a mixture of a starting material containing iron oxide with a reducing material and reducing the thus obtained agglomerated material using two-step reducing furnaces, wherein: (i) a rotary hearth type reducing furnace is used as the reducing furnace in the first step; and (ii) a rotary kiln type or shaft type reducing furnace is applied as the second reducing furnace in a reducing atmosphere, where the concentration of CO gas has been enriched up to a preset range, to thereby efficiently produce reduced iron with a high metallization ratio. Further, reduced iron having a high metallization ratio and a grain size of a definite level or greater can be efficiently obtained by: (iii) classifying a first reduced product obtained in the rotary hearth type reducing furnace in the first step to give a powdery product with a low metallization ratio; and (iv) then reducing and granulating the powdery product with a low metallization ratio alone in the rotary kiln type reducing furnace.
Même dans le cas de l'utilisation d'une matière première ayant une large variation de propriétés ou une matière première d'oxyde de fer pulvérulent dégradé ayant un degré élevé d'oxydation, du fer réduit à haut taux de métallisation peut être produit de façon stable simplement en construisant en plus une installation à réduction-finition, ladite installation de réduction-finition étant moins coûteuse et facilement utilisable, sans ajouter de quelconque modification à grande échelle d'un four de type four à foyer rotatif existant. L'invention concerne un procédé de production de fer réduit, ledit procédé comprenant l'agglomération d'un mélange d'une matière première contenant de l'oxyde de fer avec un matériau réducteur et la réduction du matériau aggloméré ainsi obtenu en utilisant des fours de réduction à deux étapes, dans lesquels : (i) un four de réduction de type four à foyer rotatif est utilisé en tant que four de réduction dans la première étape; et (ii) un |
