Description
<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
Le procédé ( voir illustration en annexe ) est destiné principalement à obtenir la fusion directe de l'acier, en une seule opération, à partir d'un réacteur nucléaire utilisant la fission de l'Uranium 235, de l'Uranium 233 ou du Plutonium 239 indifféremment, comme source productrice de chaleur.
Le procédé couvre également toute variante qui consis- terait à permettre l'extraction, la fusion ou la cuisson industrielle de métaux en utilisant directement la chaleur produite au sein d'une pile atomique, quels que soient les constituants de cette dernière et la disposition de ceux-ci. Par constituants, il faut entendre essen- tiellement la source productrice de neutrons ( qu'ils soient lents ou rapides), le modérateur éventuel ( eau lourde, graphite etc ) barres de freinage en cadmium etc..
FONCTIONNEMENT.
Le minerai I est introduit dans le creuset ménagé à cet effet au sein du réacteur haut-fourneau. Celui-ci est porté à une température suffisante pour assurer la fusion du métal à extraire ( le creuset peut être également situé dans le circuit secondaire tel qu'il est dessiné sur la figure 2).
La réduction de l'oxyde métallique se fait à l'aide d'un réducteur puissant amené dans le creuset en quantité voulue à partir de l'extérieur, ou du circuit secondaire;
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
Le réacteur est d'un type nouveau permettant d'une part l'aménagement d'un logement pour le creuset destiné à recevoir le minerai et le métal fondu,et d'autre part l'obtention d'une température de l'ordre de 2.000 C. Le dispositif consistant à enchasser des sphères d'Uranium enrichi et de graphite (IV) dans un corps de réacteur en béryllium ou en pierres réfractaires, fait partie de la présente inven- tion et permet d'atteindre ces températures élevées.
Un réducteur ( CO ou H ou tout autre ) est amené dans le creuset où se trouvent le minerai et la chaux, par le circuit d'alimen- tation (VI) et l'échangeur de température (VII )
Ce procédé permet essentiellement: A. - De produire directement de la fonte à partir de l'Energie Nucléaire.
B.- De produire éventuellement directement de l'acier sans passer par-, le stade intermédiaire de la production de fonte.
La présente invention couvre toutes les applications d'un réacteur à la production de fusion de métaux, qu'il soit, hétérogène (fig. I) homogène et autorégénérateur (fig.2), et quelle que soit la position des éléments constituants décrits sur les figures et plans annexés.
<Desc / Clms Page number 1>
The process (see illustration in appendix) is mainly intended to obtain the direct smelting of steel, in a single operation, from a nuclear reactor using the fission of Uranium 235, Uranium 233 or Plutonium 239 indifferently, as a source of heat.
The process also covers any variant which would consist in allowing the extraction, melting or industrial firing of metals by directly using the heat produced within an atomic cell, whatever the constituents of the latter and the disposition of the cell. these. By constituents, it is necessary to understand essentially the producing source of neutrons (whether slow or fast), the possible moderator (heavy water, graphite, etc.) cadmium brake bars, etc.
OPERATION.
The ore I is introduced into the crucible provided for this purpose within the blast furnace reactor. This is brought to a temperature sufficient to ensure the melting of the metal to be extracted (the crucible can also be located in the secondary circuit as drawn in FIG. 2).
The reduction of the metal oxide is carried out using a powerful reducing agent brought into the crucible in the desired quantity from the outside, or from the secondary circuit;
<Desc / Clms Page number 2>
The reactor is of a new type making it possible, on the one hand, to provide a housing for the crucible intended to receive the ore and the molten metal, and on the other hand to obtain a temperature of the order of 2,000 C. The device consisting in embedding spheres of enriched uranium and graphite (IV) in a reactor body made of beryllium or of refractory stones forms part of the present invention and makes it possible to achieve these high temperatures.
A reducing agent (CO or H or any other) is brought into the crucible where the ore and the lime are found, through the supply circuit (VI) and the temperature exchanger (VII)
This process essentially allows: A. - To directly produce cast iron from Nuclear Energy.
B.- Possibly produce steel directly without going through the intermediate stage of cast iron production.
The present invention covers all the applications of a reactor for the production of metal smelting, whether it is heterogeneous (fig. I), homogeneous and self-regenerating (fig.2), and whatever the position of the constituent elements described on the attached figures and plans.
