Abstract

1,200,633. Agglomerating ores. LUMMUS CO. 29 Aug., 1967 [2 Sept., 1966], No. 39519/67. Heading ClA. [Also in Division C5] Metal oxide ore is partially reduced by (i) agglomerating with hydrocarbon oil of 5% boiling point at least 343‹ C., (ii) heating to coke the oil and bake the agglomerates, (iii) heating to harden and effect reduction by residual carbon. Preferably, taconite concentrate (an iron oxide ore) and the oil binder ore preheated to 200- 260‹ C. and pelletized. The pellets are then coked at 370-540‹ C. in an indirectly heated travelling grate kiln and reduced at 815-1205‹ C. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere in a directly heated rotary kiln or travelling grate kiln, e.g. by burning fuel with a deficiency of air. Reduced pellets are cooled in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to 315‹ C. and thereafter in air. In the continuous operation shown (wherein temperatures are given in ‹ F.) ore and recycled undersize material are preheated in a fluidized bed and pelletized. The pellets are heated prior to coking in an indirectly heated furnace which may be a separate portion of the coking kiln. Before reduction the coked pellets are calcined in an indirectly heated travelling grate kiln. Fuel gas and fuel oil fractions are recovered from the coker distillate and used as fuel for the reducer. The reducer effluent supplies heat to the calciner, coker and preheater, and then preheats air (which is mainly supplied to the reducer) and is further water cooled before use in cooling finished pellets. The reheated gas is burnt with cold air and used to generate steam and preheat incoming air in a boiler. In alternative embodiments, agglomerates are formed by briquetting or extruding. Limestone may be added during the mixing and the products may contain up to 5 wt. per cent CaO. The product pellets are porous and may contain at least 70% FeO, less than 1% free carbon and 0-5% metallic iron; if cooling is slow, disproportionation of FeO may yield a metallic iron content of 20%. The combined oxygen in the ore is preferably reduced by 15-40 wt. per cent and the preferred oxygen: iron weight ratio in the product is 0À15-0À34.
