Abstract
A combined ironmaking and steelmaking plant is disclosed.
The plant includes a direct smelting ironmaking plant that includes an ironmaking vessel and a steelmaking plant for producing molten steel from molten iron from the iron making plant. The steelmaking plant includes a steelmaking vessel such as a BOF. The plant also includes a plurality of ladles for molten iron and a transfer means for transferring the ladles between (i) an operative position at the ironmaking vessel for receiving molten iron from the ironmaking vessel and (ii) an operative position at the steelmaking vessel for discharging molten iron directly into the steelmaking vessel. The transfer means links together the ironmaking vessel and the steelmaking vessel.
The transfer means includes a transfer crane for supporting the ladles and a transfer crane runway that defines a path of movement for the crane.
