Description: APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING MOLTEN PIG IRON AND REDUCED IRON BY UTILIZING FLUIDIZED BED, AND METHOD THEREFOR FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a molten pig iron and a directly reduced iron by using a fine iron ore, and a method for manufacturing the molten pig iron by using the apparatus. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION U.S. Patent 4,978,387 discloses a typical method for manufacturing a molten pig iron using raw iron ore and coal without carrying out pre-treatments . According to this U.S. patent, a raw iron ore and coal are directly used, so that pre-treating steps such as sintering and coking can be skipped unlike in the other blast furnaces, thereby simplifying the process steps and the manufacturing facilities . As illustrated in FIG. 1, the apparatus 400 of U.S. Patent 4,978,387 includes: a melter-gasifier 410 for gasifying the coal and for melting a reduced iron; a packed bed type pre-reducing furnace 432 for indirectly reducing the iron ore by using a reducing gas produced by the melter-gasifier 410; and other auxiliary facilities. The auxiliary facilities include: a cyclone 411, a recycling device 412, a melter-calciner 413, and venturi scrubbers 433 and 434. Within the melter-gasifier 410, the coal is gasified to produce a reducing gas for indirectly reducing the iron ore. Further, it utilizes the generated heat to melt the reduced iron which has been indirectly reduced by the pre- reducing furnace 432. Meanwhile, the pre-reducing furnace 432 uses the reducing gas of the melter-gasifier 410 to indirectly reduce the raw iron ore and the additives. The reduced iron thus produced is continuously discharged to be charged into the melter-gasifier 410. In this method, however, the raw material can be used in the form of agglomerates (8 - 35 mm), and therefore, a limit is encountered in the raw material. That is, over 80% of the production of iron ores in the world is fine iron ores, but the above facility can use only lump iron ores and the expensive pellets, this being a serious disadvantage. Meanwhile, U.S. Patent 5,192,486 discloses a direct iron ore reducing apparatus which uses fine iron ores . As shown in FIG. 2, this apparatus 500 includes: a fluidized bed type pre-heating furnace 544 for pre-heating the iron ore by means of a hot air which has been heated by a combustion chamber 547; 3-stage reducing furnaces 541, 542 and 543; a gas reformer 545 for producing a reducing gas; a heat exchanger 546 for heating the gas reformer 545; gas cleaning scrubbers 549 and 550; and a briquetting device 516. The gas reformer reforms a natural gas to produce a reducing gas for reducing the iron ore. Then the reformed gas is heated by the heat exchanger 546 to be supplied to a final reducing furnace 541. The reducing gas sequentially passes through a second pre-reducing furnace 542 and a first pre-reducing furnace 543 to be cleaned by the gas cleaning scrubber 549 so as to be circulated by going through the heat exchanger 546. The fine iron ore is fed into the pre-heating furnace to be pre-heated, and then, sequentially passes through the first pre-reducing furnace 543, the second pre-reducing furnace 542 and the final reducing furnace 541 to be finally reduced. The reduced iron is agglomerated by the briquetting device 516 into briquettes . The above described facility uses a natural gas, and requires 4-stage fluidized bed type furnaces. Thus the facility is very much complicated, and therefore, the initial facility cost is high, while the operation is also very much complicated.

The first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 is connected to a raw material supplying pipe 34f for receiving a fine iron ore and a fine additive. The raw material supplying pipe 34f is connected to a first fine iron ore supplying pipe 34fl which is connected to a fine iron ore source (not illustrated) .

Further, the furnace 34 is connected from its bottom through a first gas supplying pipe 34b to the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 to receive gas. The furnace 34 is connected from its top to a first off-gas discharging pipe 34c to discharge a off-gas, and a first off-gas discharging pipe 34c is connected to the first circulating cyclone 341. The fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 communicates through a first dust circulating pipe 34d to the first circulating cyclone 341 to circulate the dusts.

Preferably, a second gas heater 332 is installed between the second gas supplying pipe 33b and the 6th off-gas discharging pipe 32e. Further, the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 communicates through a third dust circulating pipe 32d to the third circulating cyclone 321 to receive dusts. The melter-gasifier 31 is connected to a reducing gas discharging pipe 31a, and the pipe 31a is connected to the dust cyclone 311. Therefore, the melter-gasifier 31 communicates to the dust cyclone 311 to send a gas. The dust recycling device 312 communicates through a dust discharging pipe 31b to the dust cyclone 311, and is connected through a dust injecting pipe 31c to a melting burner 313 which is installed on the melter-gasifier 31. Now the method for manufacturing a molten iron and a reduced iron by using the molten iron manufacturing apparatus and the reduced iron manufacturing apparatus of the present invention will be described. This will be described referring to the apparatuses of FIGs. 3 and 4. A fine iron ore and an additive having a particle size of 8 mm or less are charged into the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 14. Within the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 14, the charged fine iron ore is heated and pre-reduced by the reducing gas which is supplied from the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 13. Here, the fluidized bed should be preferably maintained at a temperature of 700 - 800°C. This is a condition for preventing the iron ore from being transited from hematite (Fe 2 0 3 ) to magnetite (Fe 3 0 A ) . That is, if it is maintained below 650°C, the iron ore hematite is reduced after being transited to magnetite. If the magnetite phase is formed and stabilized, the reduction speed is slowed, with the result that the required time is extended. Further, the gas utilization rate is lowered, and therefore, the fuel cost is increased. If the temperature is maintained above 800°C, the first gas heater 142 requires more oxygen, and the temperature of the supplied oxygen is excessively raised, with the result that a sticking problem may occur. Therefore, the most preferable temperature of the fluidized bed is about 780°C, or 750 - 800°C. If the supplied gas has too low a temperature, a proper amount of oxygen may be supplied to the first gas heater 142 to burn a part of the reducing gas, thereby adjusting the temperature of the fluidized bed. The reducing gas which is supplied to the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 14 has already undergone through the reducing reaction within the second fluidized bed furnace 13, and therefore, it contains a considerable amount of C0 2 , the gas oxidation ratio being about 20% - 30%. The pre-reduced iron ore which has been pre-reduced at a ratio of 30 - 50% within the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 14 is charged into the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 13. The second fluidized bed reducing furnace 13 uses a reducing gas having an oxidation ratio of 5 - 10%, which is supplied from the fluidized bed calcining furnace 12, so as to reduce the pre-reduced iron ore (supplied from the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 14) up to a reduction ratio of 90% or more, thereby manufacturing a finally reduced iron. Here, the fluidized bed within the reaction chamber should be preferably maintained at a temperature of about 850°C, or 830 - 870°C. If the temperature of the fluidized bed is lower than 830°C, the reduction ratio will be lowered. If the temperature of the fluidized bed is higher than 870°C, a sticking may occur due to the high temperature. The reduced iron which has been reduced by the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 13 is either charged into the melter-gasifier 11 for being formed into a molten iron, or is supplied to the high temperature briquetting device 16 for being formed into reduced iron briquettes. The melter-gasifier 11 is charged with coal, and produces a reducing gas for reducing the iron ore and for calcining lime stone or dolomite. Under this condition, by utilizing the combustion heat, the fine reduced iron of the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 13 and the quick lime of the fluidized bed calcining furnace 12 can be melted together to produce a molten iron. The melter- gasifier is a fixed bed type unlike the upper reducing furnaces and the calcining furnace, and therefore, in order to form a coal packed bed, the coal has to have a particle size of 8 - 50 mm in the amount of at least 80%. The melter-gasifier 11 may use the general soft coal, or under necessity, coke or anthracite. However, if the volatile organic substances contained in the soft coal are to be completely decomposed, the temperature of the off- gas of the melter-gasifier 11 has to be at least 1000°C or above. If the temperature is lower than that, the organic material (tar) is not completely decomposed, the tar is sunk at a low temperature region ( such as a water treating device) to clog the flow lines. However, if the temperature is too much higher than the above specified level, then the fuel cost is increased, and therefore, the proper temperature range is 1000 - 1100°C. The reducing gas which is produced within the melter-gasifier 11 has a high temperature as described above, and therefore, it is too hot to be directly supplied to the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 13. That is, if the reducing gas has too high a temperature, a sticking occurs among the iron ores . In order to solve such a problem, the fluidized bed lime stone calcining furnace 12 is installed above the melter-gasifier. That is, the calcination of lime stone chemically means as follows. That is, C0 2 is dissociated from the lime stone CaC0 3 to form CaO, i. e., the quick lime. This reaction requires heat, and therefore, in the present invention, the fluidized bed calcining furnace 12 not only manufacture the quick lime needed for manuf cturing the molten iron, but also makes it possible to adjust the temperature of the reducing gas. The quick lime is an additive for separating the gangue of the iron ore into slag. For example, when the coal is burned within the melter-gasifier 11, the produced amount of the reducing gas is about 1700 - 1800 Nm 3 per ton of molten iron, while the amount of heat to be released for lowering a gas from 1000 - 1100°C to 900°C is 80 - 120 Meal per ton of molten iron. Meanwhile, when the lime stone (CaC0 3 ) is calcined to form quick lime (CaO), there is required a heat amount of 430 Kcal per Kg of lime stone. About 360 Kg of lime stone is required to produce one tone of molten iron, and therefore, the heat amount for treating the additive is about 240 Meal per ton of molten iron, if the calcination of the lime stone and the raising of the temperature of lime stone from the normal temperature to 900°C are taken into account. Therefore, about 30 - 50% of the additive for producing one ton of molten iron can be treated by the fluidized bed calcining furnace 12. The remaining 50 - 70% of the additive is charged into the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 14 to be calcined simultaneously with the reduction of the fine iron ore. The additive which has been calcined by the fluidized bed calcining furnace 12 is charged into the melter-gasifier 11 together with the reduced fine iron ore to produce molten iron and slag. The temperature of the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 13 is adjusted optimally to about 850°C, and the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 14 is adjusted preferably to 780°C. In order to adjust and maintain the target temperatures stably, the second gas heater 132 and the first gas heater 142 are installed upstream of the respective reaction furnaces. The heat amount of the reducing gas, which is generated from the melter-gasifier 11 is about 3000 Kcal/Nm 3 . The heat amount for raising the temperature of the reducing gas by 100°C is about 30 Kcal/Nm 3 . Therefore, if an amount of the reducing gas which is discharged for producing one ton of molten iron is burned by 17 - 18 Nm 3 (1% of the reducing gas) of oxygen, the mentioned amount of the reducing gas can be raised by 100°C. Here, the required amount of oxygen is 8 - 9 Nm 3 per ton of molten iron. In this manner, if the amount of oxygen is adjustingly injected into the gas heater, the temperature can be raised to the required level. Now the method for manufacturing a molten iron by using the apparatus of FIG. 5 will be described. A fine iron ore and an additive having a particle size of 8 mm or less are charged respectively through the fine iron ore supplying pipe 34fl and the first additive supplying pipe 34f2 into the raw material supplying pipe 34f. Then they are supplied through the raw material supplying pipe 34f into the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34. The fine additive which is supplied through the additive supplying pipe 34f2 and the raw material supplying pipe 34f should preferably amount to 50 - 70% of the total additive amount which is required for manufacturing the molten iron. The fine iron ore which has been charged into the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 is pre-heated and pre-reduced by the reducing gas (i.e., the off-gas of the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33) which is supplied after passing through the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33, while the additive is calcined. Under this condition, the temperature of the fluidized bed should be preferably maintained at 700 - 800°C. This is a condition for preventing the iron ore from being transited from hematite (Fe 2 0 3 ) to magnetite (Fe 3 0 4 ) . That is, if it is maintained below 650°C, the iron ore hematite is reduced after being transited to magnetite. If the magnetite phase is formed and stabilized, the reduction speed is slowed, with the result that the required time is extended. Further, the gas utilization rate is lowered, and therefore, the fuel cost is increased. If the temperature is maintained above 800°C, the first gas heater 342 requires more oxygen, and the temperature of the supplied oxygen is excessively raised, with the result that a sticking problem may occur. Therefore, the most preferable temperature of the fluidized bed is different depending on the kind of the used fine iron ore, but should be about 720°C, or 700 - 750°C. If the gas which is supplied to the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 has a low temperature, a proper amount of oxygen may be supplied to the first gas heater 342 to burn a part of the reducing gas, thereby adjusting the temperature of the fluidized bed. The reducing gas which is supplied to the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 has already undergone through the reducing reaction within the second fluidized bed furnace 33, and therefore, it contains a considerable amount of C0 2 , the gas oxidation ratio being about 30% - 40%. The pre-reduced iron ore which has been pre-reduced at a ratio of about 30% within the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 is charged into the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33. The second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 uses a reducing gas having an oxidation ratio of 15 - 20%, which is supplied from the third fluidized bed furnace 32, so as to reduce the pre-reduced iron ore (supplied from the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34) up to a reduction ratio of 50 - 60% for the second time. Under this condition, the temperature of the fluidized bed within the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 is preferably about 780°C, or 780 - 820°C. The reducing gas which has been supplied to the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 has already been dropped to below 800°C, and therefore, the temperature can be utilized as it is. However, in the case where the fluidized bed of the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 drops below 790°C, or where it is to be maintained at 800 - 820°C, oxygen may be injected into the second gas heater 332 to ultimately adjust the temperature of the fluidized bed to the optimum level . If the temperature of the fluidized bed of the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 drops to below 780°C, there is the possibility that the reduction ratio of the pre-reduced iron to be outputted to the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 may be lowered, this being not desirable. The pre-reduced iron pre-reduced at a ratio of 50 - 60% and the calcined additive calcined for the second time, which are discharged from the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33, are charged into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32. The third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 uses a reducing gas having an oxidation ratio of 3 - 7%, which is supplied from the melter-gasifier 31, so as to reduce the pre-reduced iron ore (supplied from the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34) up to a reduction ratio of 90% or more, thereby manufacturing a finally reduced iron. Here, the fluidized bed within the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 should be preferably maintained at a temperature of about 850°C, or 830 - 870°C. If the temperature of the fluidized bed is lower than 830 °C, the reduction ratio will be lowered. If the temperature of the fluidized bed is higher than 870°C, a sticking may occur due to the high temperature. In order to ensure the optimum temperature level of the fluidized bed, lime stone or dolomite as a temperature adjusting means is charged through the second additive supplying pipe 32f into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32. The amount of the additive which is charged into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 is the total amount of the additive needed for manufacturing the molten iron less the amount of the additive which has been already supplied into the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 31. That is , the amount of the additive which is charged into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 is equivalent to 30 - 50% of the total amount of the additive which is required for manufacturing the molten iron. This will be described more later. The reduced iron and the calcined additive which have been finally reduced and calcined within the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 are charged into the melter-gasifier 31 so as to be manufactured into a molten iron. Coal is charged into the melter-gasifier 31, so that the melter-gasifier 31 can produce a reducing gas. This reducing gas is used for reducing the raw fine iron ore, and for calcining the additive such as lime stone and dolomite. Further, the combustion heat thus produced is used for melting the finally reduced fine reduced iron and the finally calcined quick lime so as to manufacture a molten iron. The melter-gasifier 31 is of a fixed bed type unlike the fluidized bed type reducing furnaces, and therefore, in order to form a coal packed bed, the coal has to have a particle size of 8 - 50 mm in the amount of at least 80%. The melter-gasifier 31 may use the general soft coal, or under necessity, coke or anthracite. However, if the volatile organic substances contained in the soft coal are to be completely decomposed, the temperature of the off-gas of the melter-gasifier 31 has to be at least 1000 °C or above. If the temperature is lower than this level, the organic material (tar) is not completely decomposed, the tar is sunk at a low temperature region such as a water treating device to clog the flow lines. However, if the temperature is too much higher than the above specified one, then the fuel cost is increased, and therefore, the proper temperature range is 1000 - 1100°C. The reducing gas which is produced within the melter-gasifier 31 has a high temperature as described above, and therefore, it is too hot to be directly supplied to the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32. That is, if the reducing gas has too high a temperature, a sticking occurs among the iron ores. In order to solve such a problem in the present invention, a proper amount of the additive such as lime stone or dolomite is supplied into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32. To take the additive lime stone as an example, the calcination of lime stone chemically means as follows. That is, C0 2 is dissociated from the lime stone CaC0 3 to form CaO, i e, the quick lime. This reaction requires heat, and therefore, in the present invention, the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 not only manufacture the quick lime needed for manufacturing the molten iron, but also makes it possible to adjust the temperature of the reducing gas . The quick lime is an additive for separating the gangue of the iron ore into slag. For example, when the coal is burned within the melter-gasifier 31, the produced amount of the reducing gas is about 1800 Nm 3 per ton of molten iron, while the amount of heat to be released for lowering a gas from 1050°C to 850°C is 120 Meal per ton of molten iron. Meanwhile, when the lime stone (CaC0 3 ) is calcined to form quick lime (CaO), there is required a heat amount of 430 Kcal per Kg of lime stone. About 360 Kg of lime stone is required to produce one tone of molten iron, and therefore, the heat amount for treating the additive is about 240 Meal per ton of molten iron, if the calcination of the lime stone and the raising of the temperature of lime stone from the normal temperature to 850°C are taken into account. Meanwhile, the temperature of the pre- reduced iron which is discharged from the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 to be charged into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 is about 780°C. Therefore, if it is to be raised to 850°C, there is required a heat amount of about 30 Meal. Therefore, about 30 - 50% of the additive for producing one ton of molten iron can be treated by the fluidized bed reducing furnace 32. The remaining 50 - 70% of the additive is charged into the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 to be calcined simultaneously with the reduction of the fine iron ore during its passing through the second and third fluidized bed reducing furnaces 33 and 32. The additive which has been calcined by the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 is charged into the melter-gasifier 31 together with the reduced fine iron ore to be separated into molten iron and slag. The additive charging ratio between the first and third fluidized bed reducing furnaces 34 and 32 depends on the above specified temperature and the amount of the gas . This ratio also can be adjusted in accordance with the variation of the working conditions . That is, the additive charging ratio is adjusted in such a manner that the temperatures of the respective fluidized bed furnaces are controlled to the above described optimum levels. The temperature of the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 should be preferably 720°C, the temperature of the second fluidized bed reducing furnace 33 should be preferably 780°C, and the temperature of the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 should be preferably 850°C. Actually therefore, in accordance with the properties of the coal and the fine iron ore, the required amount of the reducing gas can be varied within a range of 1500 - 1800 Nm 3 per tone of molten iron, and the temperature of the off-gas of the melter-gasifier 31 can be varied within a range of 1000 - 1100°C. Therefore, about 30 - 50% of the additive for producing one ton of molten iron is charged into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 to carry out the temperature adjustment and the calcination. About 50 - 70% of the additive is charged into the first fluidized bed reducing furnace 34 so that it can be calcined simultaneously with the reduction of the fine iron ore during the passing through the second and third fluidized bed reducing furnaces 33 and 32. Meanwhile, the temperatures of the second and first fluidized bed furnaces 33 and 34 may be lowered below the target temperatures due to the heat loss. Therefore, in order to adjust and maintain the target temperatures stably, the second gas heater 332 and the first gas heater 342 are preferably installed upstream of the second and first fluidized bed reducing furnaces 33 and 34. For example, the simple control means for lowering the high temperature (1000°C) of the reducing gas of the melter-gasifier to a proper temperature (850°C) of the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32 is that a part (40%) of the additive is supplied into the third fluidized bed reducing furnace 32, while the useful control means for raising the low temperatures of the second and first fluidized bed reducing furnaces to the optimum levels are the installations of the gas heaters 332 and 342. The heat amount of the reducing gas, which is generated from the melter-gasifier 31, is about 3000 Kcal/Nm 3 . The heat amount for raising the temperature of the reducing gas by 100°C is about 30 Kcal/Nm 3 . Therefore, if an amount of the reducing gas which is dischaged for producing one ton of molten iron is burned by 17 - 18 Nm 3 (1% of the reducing gas) of oxygen, the mentioned amount of the reducing gas can be raised by 100°C. Here, the required amount of oxygen is 8 - 9 Nm 3 per ton of molten iron. In this manner, if the amount of oxygen is a justingly injected into the gas heater, the temperature can be raised to the required level. According to the present invention as described above, coal is used for producing the reducing gas, and a fine iron ore is directly used. Thus, a molten iron or a reduced iron can be manufactured in a simple and efficient manner.
