Patent JP-2001514701-A (JP)
IPC: C21B13/00
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: A process to optimize the reduction process with a given quality of ore. The reduction gas 7 is analyzed by means of gas sensor 1 and is separated into two partial flows. The throughput of the partial flow which is oxidized is regulated by a regulation valve 3 and is then sent to the burner 4 where it is oxidized. The other partial flow of the reduction gas is regulated by a regulation valve 2 according to the required amount of gas in the shaft and is thereafter brought to the required temperature in the heat exchanger 11 and mixed with the oxidized partial flow of the reduction gas. The gas components are determined by a gas sensor 13 and, when necessary, a gas delivery 14 is adjusted according to mathematical formulations. This makes it possible to run the reduction process in the direction of its stoichiomeric optimum using a given quality of ore. A further advantage lies in the fact that the reduction gas can be heated to a desired temperature while maintaining a very low oxidant portion in order that the gas analysis can be adjusted in wide ranges.
