Abstract: The continuous digester is for producing chemical pulp to a process for operating this digester and to a feedback system for the cooking liquid. By means of implementing cooking zones 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th down through the digester, that have a successively decreasing liquid-to-wood ratio, it is possible to obtain a more uniform alkali profile during the cooking. The alkali is kept high at the beginning by means of a high liquid-to-wood ratio, typically over 6:1, which exceeds conventional liquid-to-wood ratios, which are normally around 3.5-5.0:1.

Abstract: In a method of producing metallic iron by reducing and melting a raw material, which contains an iron oxide-containing material and a carbonaceous reducing agent, by heating, the raw material for producing metallic iron is supplied after a powder and granular atmosphere control carbonaceous material is spread on a hearth of a heat-reducing furnace. In this case, a non-resolidificable carbonaceous material is used as the atmosphere control carbonaceous material, and thus a phenomenon that the powder and granular carbonaceous material is resolidified into a rice-cracker-like shape can be suppressed, thereby permitting solid-phase reduction with high efficiency and stable operationality. <IMAGE>
