Drehherdofen zur Erzeugung von reduziertem Metall und Verfahren zur Erzeugung von reduziertem Metall

摘要

In a rotary hearth furnace for producing reduced metal through heating and reducing carbon containing materials composed of at least metal oxide-containing material and carbon-containing reduction material, a hearth structure is provided by which a refractory in a hearth lateral end is not damaged and carbon containing materials do not fall down to a water sealing section of the rotary hearth furnace. The upper part of a hearth lateral end (1a) is covered with the lower end (2a) of a side wall (2) of a hood covering the whole hearth, and a cooling means (3) is installed in the side wall lower end (2a).
