Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A discharge system for a shaft-type furnace comprising a table supporting a column of furnace charge at the base of the shaft-type furnace for the direct reduction of iron ore to produce sponge iron, a discharge device on this table being horizontally reciprocable to carry hot sponge iron alternately to one side and the opposite side of the table and expells the sponge iron into discharge openings provided at the opposite sides of the table.
  • the sponge iron cascades through downwardly extending shafts or chutes of each opening, which, in turn, open downwardly into respective intermediate bins, the latter opening into dispensing hoppers which communicate via compensating connectors (e.g. bellows), with transport vessels or the like for the storage or further treatment of the sponge-iron.
  • the transport vessel is provided with a system for flushing the interior with a nonoxidizing gas and the discharge hopper or bellows, is provided an outlet for the flushing gas.
  • flap-type closures are provided to hermetically seal the respective openings.
  • the present invention relates to a discharge apparatus at the base of a shaft furnace for the direct reduction of iron oxides to produce sponge iron and, more particularly, to a system for discharging such furnaces into transport or storage vessels.
  • a shaft-type furnace for the direct reduction of iron oxide to sponge-iron generally comprises an upstanding shaft which is charged at its top,- e;g. through a closure adapted to prevent the escape or entry of gases during charging, with iron-ore pellets or briquettes which are l ,000 C or greater, but less than its melting point, is obtained as a spongy, highly active mass, generally referred to as sponge iron.
  • the sponge iron is removed at the base of the furnace by a discharge device since the sponge iron is seldom in a free-flowing state at the furnace base.
  • the present invention has as its principal object the provision of an improved system for the discharging of a shaft-type furnace whereby the aforementioned disadvantages are obviated.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an improved system for the discharging sponge iron from shaft-type furnaces which prevents reoxidization of the sponge-iron in all stages from the moment it leaves the furnace outlet to the moment at which it enters atransport or storage vessel.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide an improved system for filling transport vessels with sponge iron whereby reoxidization of the sponge iron is precluded.
  • a discharge system for a direct-reduction furnace i.e. a storing or loading system for a transport vessel, which comprises, two discharge openings of the direct-reduction furnace (on opposite sides of a supporting table below-thecolumn of charge of the furnace and toward which a scraper or displacement bar or plate is reciprocated alternately), a downwardly extending discharge shaft or chute of converging configuration, an intermediate storage bin communicating with the downwardly opening end of each discharge shaft or chute, and a dispensing funnel or bin into whichthe intermediate bin opens via conically convergent walls.
  • a flap-type closure forming a hermetic seal with a seating ring surrounding the opening at the lower end of each discharge shaft or chute.
  • a similar closure is provided at the lower end of the intermediate storage bin at which it opens into the discharge hopper.
  • the latter is provided with compensating seal means engageable with a transport vessel to provide a hermetic seal between the vessel and the hopper.
  • Means is provided for flushing the transport vessel with an oxidization-limiting gas, the outlet for this gas being provided on the hopper or the intermediate bin.
  • the hopper may be connected to the transport vessel by compensating connector means, e.g. a bellows-type seal, which may be provided with the flushing-gas outlet or the latter may be formed on the discharge hopper itself.
  • compensating connector means e.g. a bellows-type seal
  • the system described above can be embodied in various forms 1 and it has been found to be highly advantageous when the discharge chute or shaft has a converging portion of small cross section reaching into the intermediate bin and on its downwardly-facing end, having a seat or a flap-type closure forming a gas'tight fit therewith.
  • the lower end of the intermediate bin likewise may have a reduced diameter and can extend into the charge hopper so that its lower edge forms a seat for a flap-type closure.
  • the flap-type closure may include a conventional flap body whose sealing surface corresponds to a surface of revolutions centered on the axis of the respective seat when the flap is in a closed position, the flap being swivelly mounted for self-centering engagement with its seat, upon an arm swingable in a plane of the aforementioned axis and operated by a horizontal shaft.
  • the compensating connector is preferably provided with a connected flange adapted to be seated over the filling opening of a transport vessel aligned with the discharge hopper.
  • the system described above is highly advantageous in that it operates continuously or quasicontinuously to carry sponge iron from a shaft-type furnace in a hot state to the transport vessel, the transport vessel discontinuously carrying away the sponge iron.
  • the discharge hoppers may work alternately and it goes without saying that the various flap-type closures of the two systems may be operated in alternation.
  • the flushing gas is preferably turned on automatically when the compensating connector is brought into plane although a constant gushing gas flow can be maintained in the transport vessel or a flushing gas pressure allowed to build up therein until the inlet of the vessel is properly sealed to the compensating connector.

  • the waste gas drawn off from the top of the furnace may pass into recuperators for recovering any sensible heat and then into gas-generating reactors where all or part of the waste gas is reformed with hydrocarbons to regenerate carbon monoxide and hydrogen which is fed to the bottom of the shaft-type furnace in accordance with conventional practices.
