Abstract
They purpose of the invention is to create a process which optimizes the reduction process with a given quality of ore.
The reduction gas 7 is analyzed by means of gas sensor 1 and is separated into two partial flows. The throughput of the partial flow which is oxidized is regulated by means of the regulation valve 3 and is then sent to the burner 4 where it is oxidized. The other partial flow of the reduction gas 7 is regulated by means of the regulation valve 2 according to the required amount of gas in the shaft and is thereafter brought to the required temperature in the heat exchanger 11 and mixed with the oxidized partial flow of the reduction gas. The gas components are determined by means of the gas sensor 13 and, when necessary, a gas delivery 14 is adjusted according to mathematical formulations.
With this invention, it is possible to run the reduction process in the direction of its stoichiometric optimum using a given quality of ore. A further advantage lies in the fact that the reduction gas can be heated to a desired temperature while maintaining a very low oxidant portion in order that the gas analysis can be adjusted in wide ranges.
Description
- The invention relates to a process for the reduction of ores, especially iron ores, to iron. In this process, the ore at a high temperature is brought into contact with a reduction agent which is preferably a carbon-containing gas.
- DE 40 30 093 A1 describes a process for the direct reduction of iron ore in a shaft furnace with a reduction gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Top gas extracted from the shaft furnace is subsequently mixed with a methane-rich gas, and the gas mixture is then converted to reduction gas in a reformer.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,537,626 reveals a process in which the reduction gases exiting a steel converter are heated in a heat exchanger with a carbon-containing material and are subsequently introduced into a metallurgical reduction reactor. This method has the particular disadvantage of not being able to influence the quality of the reduction gas after it exits the converter.

- DE-C 3 213 204 depicts heat exchangers, preferably for cooling flue gas, with heads and high-temperature-resistant pipes of which the replacement pipes are arranged in a longitudinal direction. The support head is of concrete, and the pipes are positioned in a head which is longitudinally moveable.

The heating elements are built into the hollow space within the housing wall and minimize the condensation of highly volatile components. This system is not, however, conceived for the heating of gases in the required areas.
- In one of the current processes, the reduction gas is brought to the required reaction temperature before it is fed into the reduction container. Currently, this occurs by means of metallic heat exchangers, some of which are available as throw-away heat exchangers. In cases of high CO content, the conventional designs have the problem of carbide build-up in the material due to the dissociation of the CO.

Even in the event of reduction gases which contain high concentrations of H2, there is a decomposition of the material as well. in the conventional designs of the various systems, this problem is solved by a partial combustion of the reduction gas. This leads to compromises in the quality of the reduction gas.
- This means that the heat exchangers made of iron materials make it nearly impossible to supersede certain temperature zones and to fall below oxidation potentials because the attrition of the heat exchanger would not comply with industrial tolerances. Furthermore, the current heat exchangers represent a safety problem.
- The purpose of the invention is therefore to create a process which avoids the problems of the above systems and which optimizes the reduction process when given a specific quality of ore.
- The problem is solved by separating and oxidizing a first partial flow of the reduction gas before bringing the ore into contact with the reduction gas, adjusting the temperature of the second partial flow to a desired level, combining both partial flows and, optionally, adding an additional gas to the combined partial flows prior to bringing the reduction gas into contact with the ore.

The feed line for reduction gas has downstream of its insertion point of the by-pass line a second gas sensor and, downstream of the second gas sensor a further feed line for the additon of an additional gas. Optionally, the feed line for reduction gas has a third gas sensor which may be located either upstream or downstream of the further feed line.

- The invention is elaborated in the drawing which more precisely depicts the process flow. The reduction gas flowing through
feed line 7 is analyzed by means of thegas sensor 1 and is divided into two partial flows (FIG.). The throughput of the first partial flow which is oxidized is regulated by means of aregulation valve 3 and then reaches theburner 4 where it is oxidized. The second partial flow of the reduction gas is regulated by means of aregulation valve 2 according to the required amount of gas in thereduction container 6 and is then brought to the required temperature in theheat exchanger 11 and mixed with the oxidized partial flow of the reduction gas. By means of thegas sensor 13, the gas components are determined and, when necessary, the addition of gas viafeed line 14 is adjusted according to mathematical formulations. - The temperature is measured by a gas sensor5 and the control curcuit consisting of gas sensor 5 and
regulation valve 3 is accordingly adjusted. The reduction gas is then delivered to thereduction container 6.Spent reduction gas 8 exits thereduction container 6 at its top. Theore 9 is brought into dose contact with the optimized reduction gas in thereduction container 6 and is withdrawn as reactedore 10 or sponge iron. - Optionally, the
gas sensor 13 can be placed downstream of thegas feed line 14, in which case the gas feed throughline 14 is adjusted on the basis of the measured composition.
