Abstract: A three stage fluidized bed furnace for reducing fine iron ore at least comprises: a first single fluidized bed furnace to dry and preheat the fine iron in the bubble fluidizing mode; a first cyclone to collect the fine iron ore in the gas coming out of the first fluidized bed furnace; a second single fluidized bed furnace to pre-reduce the fine iron ore which has been dried and preheated in the first fluidized bed furnace; a second cyclone to collect the fine iron ore mixed in the gas from the second fluidized bed furnace; a third double fluidized bed furnace, at least includes a first barrel type reactor and a second reactor to perform the final reduction of coarse and fine iron ores which have been reduced in the second fluidized bed furnace; a third cyclone to collect the coarse and fine iron ore mixed in the gas from the first reactor of the third fluidized bed furnace; and a fourth cyclone to collect the extra fine iron ore mixed in the gas from the second reactor of the third fluidized bed furnace; the first fluidized bed furnace consists of a first swelling portion, a first tapered portion and a first narrow portion, the fist tapered portion has a first gas inlet on the bottom, a first gas distributor on the top of the first gas inlet and a first iron ore outlet on a first side wall, the first swelling portion and the first tapered portion are connected to the first cyclone by means of the 16th pipe and the first pipe; and the first narrow portion connected to the hopper via the 17th pipe; the second fluidized bed furnace has at least a second swelling portion, a second tapered portion and a second narrow portion, the second narrow portion has a second gas inlet on the bottom, a second gas distributor on the top of the second gas inlet; the second swelling portion and the second tapered portion are connected to the second cyclone by means of the 18th pipe and the 4th pipe, one side of the second narrow portion has a second iron ore outlet and connected to the first ore outlet via the second pipe, and the tope of the second cyclone is connected to the first gas inlet via the third pipe; the third fluidized bed furnace has a first reactor in barrel type, the first reactor has the third gas inlet at the bottom to receive gas from the furnace, and a third distributor at the bottom, the third ore outlet is connected to the furnace top via the 8th pipe and to the second reactor via the 19th pipe, the top of the third cyclone connected to second gas inlet via the 7th pipe; and the second reactor of the third fluidized bed furnace comprises a third swelling portion, a third tapered portion and a third narrow portion, the 5th ore outlet of the third narrow portion is at the bottom, a 4th conical distributor inside, the 4th ore outlet on one side, connected to the furnace via the12th pipe, the third swelling portion and the third narrow portion are connected to the 4th cyclone via the 20th and 14th pipes, the third narrow portion links with the 6th pipe and the second ore outlet to the second narrow portion, the top of the 4th cyclone connects the 15th pipe to the 7th pipe, the third narrow portion has a 4th gas inlet set under the 4th conical distributor and via the 11th pie to the furnace, the 5th ore outlet connected to the third furnace via the 9th pipe, the 9th pipe and the 11th pipe connected to the 10th pipe, the lower part of the third cyclone is connected the 13th pipe to the 10th pipe, the gas speed in the first fluidized bed furnace, the second fluidized bed furnace and the second reactor is 1.5 to 3.0 folds the minimum ore fluidizing speed in each furnace, the gas final speed in the first reactor is 1.5 to 3.0 folds the minimum fluidizing speed of coarse ore.
