Title: Apparatus for manufacturing molten metal
Inventor: TETSUMOTO MASAHIKO
IPC: F27B3/02
Filed: 2010-10-08
Abstract: Disclosed is a production device of which secondary combustion efficiency can be further improved when a molten metal is produced by directly reducing and melting metal material briquette layers in an electric heating furnace. Specifically, material charging chutes (4, 4) are disposed at either end portion (2, 2) of a furnace in the width direction of the furnace. Electrodes (5) are disposed in a central region in the furnace width direction. Secondary combustion burners (6) are disposed in an upper portion (1) of the furnace having stepped portions descending from both end portions (2, 2) in the furnace width direction to the electrodes (5). Material packed layers (12) each having a downslope inclined to lower portions of the electrodes (5) are formed in advance by charging a carbonaceous material (A) from the chutes (4, 4), and metal material briquette layers (13) are formed on the slopes of the material packed layers (12) by charging metal material briquettes (B). Molten iron is produced by sequentially melting lower end portions of the metal material briquette layers (13) by arc heating at the electrodes (5). At the same time, an oxygen containing gas (C) is blown from the secondary combustion burners (6) so as to cause the combustion of a CO containing gas generated from the metal material briquette layers (13) while the metal material briquette layers (13) descend along the slopes of the material packed layers (12), and the metal material briquette layers (13) are heated by the radiant heat of the combustion.
