PROCESS AND PLANT FOR REDUCING SOLIDS CONTAINING IRON OXIDE

摘要

In the reduction of solids containing iron oxide, in particular titanium-containing iron ores, such as ilmenite, the solids are introduced into a reactor in which they are reduced in the presence of a carbonaceous reducing agent at a temperature of 800 to 1200C. To increase the efficiency of the reduction, steam is additionally introduced into the reactor.
