Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing molten iron, comprising the steps: reducing iron ore to sponge iron, carburizing sponge iron with a carbon-containing gas, melting the carburized sponge iron and/or treating the melt produced from the carburized sponge iron.
- the sponge iron which is still hot after the reduction, is cooled with a cooling gas which comprises a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a specific ratio.
- a cooling gas which comprises a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a specific ratio.
- the carbon content in the sponge iron can be increased with the cooling gas.
- the blast furnace routes will gradually be replaced by direct reduction plants in connection with smelting aggregates in order to cover the continuing global demand for steel.
- direct reduction plants are being built on the mill floor not far from the existing blast furnace(s), so that parallel operation can also take place for a certain period of time, see, inter alia, EP 1 641 945 Bl. Due to climate-related restrictions or in order to achieve the ambitious climate goals, the direct reduction plants operated with natural gas according to the current state of the art will be operated with hydrogen or hydrogen-rich gases in the future.
- the object of the present invention is to further develop this method in such a way as to specify a CO 2 -neutral or CO 2 -reduced production of molten iron.
- This object is achieved by a method for producing an iron melt, comprising the steps: - reducing iron ore to sponge iron, - carburizing sponge iron with a carbon-containing gas, - melting the carburized sponge iron and/or treating the melt produced from the carburized sponge iron, wherein at least part of the process gas produced during the melting of the carburized sponge iron and/or the treatment of the melt produced from the carburized sponge iron is recycled as the carbon-containing gas.
- the sponge iron With the carbon from the carbonaceous gas flowing through the sponge iron, the sponge iron is "carburized” so that carbon is deposited on the sponge iron. The deposited carbon then combines with the iron to form cementite (Fe 3 C).
- the carbon content of the sponge iron after treatment with the carbon-containing gas is greater than 0.5% by weight, in particular greater than 1.0% by weight, preferably greater than 1.5% by weight and less than 4.5% by weight , in particular less than 4.0% by weight, preferably less than 3.5% by weight.

- the melt produced from the carburized sponge iron can be treated if the carbon in the melt is to be reduced to a necessary level in order to be able to be further processed.
- This can be done, for example, using oxygen in a so-called oxygen blowing process in order to remove carbon from the melt in the form of carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide, with this oxygen blowing process being able to be integrated in the furnace, for example in an electric furnace, in particular in a further stage, or classically in a converter can be carried out.

- the carbon-containing gas can optionally contain up to 15% by volume of water vapor (H 2 O) and/or up to 30% by volume of hydrogen (H 2 ). If optional proportions of nitrogen (N 2 ) are present, these are limited to a content of in particular max. 25% by volume, preferably max. 20% by volume, preferably max. 15% by volume, more preferably max. 10 Vol. -% to limit. Furthermore, the carbon-containing gas can also contain unavoidable impurities up to 2% by volume, such as sulfur compounds.
- a hydrogen-containing reducing gas is used for the reduction.
- the hydrogen-containing reducing gas has methane (CH 4 ) and/or hydrogen (H 2 ) as a main component.
- Natural gas which essentially comprises methane, can be used for this purpose.

- the hydrogen-containing reducing gas can also contain a mixture of methane (CH 4 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ).
- the hydrogen-containing reducing gas can consist of hydrogen and be free of carbon. As a result, the reduction work can be carried out all the more effectively when only hydrogen is used.
- Hydrogen can be produced in different ways, for example by reforming mization process or water electrolysis.
- the industrial production of hydrogen is energy-intensive, so that renewable energies (wind, water, sun) are preferably used and/or CO 2 -reduced technologies, such as nuclear energy, and not or not exclusively using fossil energy.
- the hydrogen-containing reducing gas can contain other components such as water vapor and unavoidable impurities such as sulfur compounds and/or nitrogen.

- the melting temperature of the sponge iron In order to be able to ensure problem-free charging of the hot sponge iron, preferably into the electric furnace, and to avoid premature melting of the sponge iron, the melting temperature of the sponge iron must not be exceeded during heating, so that the temperature is no more than 1500° C., in particular a maximum of 1400° C., preferably should be 1300 °C.
- the carbonaceous gas has not only the function of carburizing, but also that of heating the sponge iron to reduce the electric power consumption for melting in the electric furnace.
- the iron ore runs through a shaft furnace in a vertical direction, from top to bottom.
- Such shaft furnaces allow a good flow of reducing gas through the iron ore due to the underlying chimney effect.

- the sponge iron is cooled or heated in the lower part of the shaft furnace.
- the iron ore can be reduced in the upper part of the shaft furnace and the sponge iron can be cooled or heated/heated in the lower part.
- the carbon-containing gas also flows through the sponge iron against a direction of movement of the sponge iron.
- the iron ore can be reduced in one or more fluidized bed reactors and the sponge iron can be carburized in one or more fluidized bed reactors.
- a fluidized bed reactor a fine-grained solid bed is whirled up by the gas flowing in continuously from below via a gas distributor. This also enables efficient reaction between the gases and the solids.
- the invention is explained in FIG. 1 using the example of a shaft furnace (10).

- a carbon-containing gas (42) containing CO and/or CO 2 as the main component is introduced into the heating zone (12) for carburizing and heating.
- the carburized and heated sponge iron is introduced into the electric furnace (20), as a result of which the electrical energy required for melting can be reduced.
- the process gas from the electric furnace (20) can be provided as the carbon-containing gas (42).
- at least part of the process gas produced from the treatment of the melt produced from the carburized sponge iron can also be recycled as carbon-containing gas.
- the recirculated process gas can, if required, be fed to units for separating unwanted accompanying elements before it is made available as a carbon-containing gas (42), for example in order to set the nitrogen content to less than 25% by volume.
- the invention can also be carried out in a cascade of fluidized bed reactors.
- At least one fluidized bed reactor forms a reduction zone and, depending on the circumstances, at least one further fluidized bed reactor in the cascade as a cooling zone or heating zone, each combined with carburizing.
- the iron ore would possibly be converted into sponge iron step by step in a second one as well.
- the sponge iron is cooled or heated in addition to carburizing, depending on the temperature of the carbon-containing gas.
- the principle essentially corresponds to that of a shaft furnace, but distributed over several fluidized bed reactors instead of one shaft.
- the number of fluidized bed reactors can be interconnected as required.
