Method of producing molten pig iron or steel pre- products from particulate ferrous material

Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a method of producing molten pig iron or steel preproducts from particulate ferrous material as well as of, producing reduction gas in a melt-down gasifier by adding coal and by blowing in oxygen-containing gas by means of nozzle pipes penetrating the wall of the melt-down gasifier, a fixed bed formed of coke particles through which, the oxygen-containing gas flows and a superposed fluidized bed of coke particles are formed, and the ferrous material is charged onto the fluidized bed. Below the fixed bed through which oxygen-containing gas flows a fixed bed of, coke particles not passed through by gas is provided and, the fluidized bed above the fixed bed passed through by …
