DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for charging reduced iron into a melting and refining furnace in an iron manufacturing process in which reduced iron is produced in a firing furnace and then melted and refined in a melting and refining furnace such as an electric furnace or a converter. .

After being preheated in a preheater, the ironmaking raw material granulated in a pelletizer is charged into the kiln bottom of the kiln together with a reducing agent (coal or coke) and a desulfurizing agent.
By rotating the kiln, these input materials are moved toward the kiln's firing side, and are further heated by a burner installed at the kiln's kiln's kiln, thereby removing the mixed coal or coke carbon. The raw material is reduced by chemically reacting the oxygen in the raw material with the oxygen contained in the raw material.

Conventionally, reduced iron fired in this way is cooled in a cooler and then charged into, for example, an electric furnace.
Since the loss of thermal energy is large, recently the reduced iron taken out from the kiln is placed in a hot container that is shut off from the outside air, and then transported by a crane or other transport device to a separate electric furnace for charging. ing. This latter method is advantageous in terms of saving energy, but the specific gravity of molten steel (approximately 7.5)
Since the bulk specific gravity (approximately 1.4) of reduced iron is smaller than that of iron, a large-capacity container is required to transport the reduced iron, and the high temperature (approximately 1050℃) discharged from the kiln is
Because reduced iron is transported in a container, there is a risk that the reduced iron in the lower layer inside the container may cause welding, making it impossible to discharge it from the container.

1 is a rotary kiln, 2 is the rotary kiln 1
This hood is provided to cover the product outlet side of the rotary kiln 1, and has a hot screen 3 facing the product outlet of the rotary kiln 1 inside. Hoppers 2a and 2b are formed in each of the hoppers 2a and 2b, respectively. At the lower end of the hopper 2a, there is a seal chamber 5 equipped with a bell 4 that can be opened and closed vertically, and a chute gutter 7 that is connected to the seal chamber 5 and equipped with a bell 6 that can be opened and closed.
is provided, and communicates with an induction heating furnace 8 facing the tip thereof. Reference numeral 10 denotes a cooler for cooling the reducing agent, which faces the opening at the lower end of the hopper 2b.

Since the present invention has the above configuration, the reduced iron fired through the predetermined process is passed from the product outlet of the rotary kiln 1 to the hot screen 3 together with the reducing agent.
The iron is released to the top and is separated into reduced iron and reducing agent by the sieving action of the hot screen 3. The reduced iron thus sorted is fed into the hopper 2a from the tip of the hot screen 3, and then, by the opening of the bells 4 and 6, it is sequentially passed through the seal chamber 5 and the chute 7 from the opening at the lower end of the hopper 2a. It is charged into the induction heating furnace 8. At this time, the induction heating furnace 8 is in a heated state and melts the reduced iron that is sequentially charged (see FIG. 2). When the charging of reduced iron reaches a certain amount, the bells 4 and 6 are temporarily closed as shown in FIG. 1 until the melting is completed. This closing action seals the inside of the hood 2 and prevents the reduced iron from being reoxidized.

The reduced iron melted in the induction heating furnace 8 is charged into a ladle 11 which is carried by a crane or the like (not shown) so as to face the pouring spout 9 of the induction heating furnace 8, and then the reduced iron is poured into the ladle 11 by a crane operation. The ladle is transported to a separate melting and refining furnace, and the molten steel in the ladle is charged into the melting and refining furnace.
