TRANSPORTABLE APPARATUS FOR MILL SCALE REDUCTION

摘要

A new use is proposed in relation to previously disclosed particulate iron reduction methods, where a refractory chamber and associated gas handling apparatus are constructed according to the methods of these previous disclosures, where the chamber and apparatus are sized for transport on a rail car or other transport means. These transportable reduction means may be moved to diverse sites and renders economic the processing of mill scale and other sources of iron oxide comingled with oil, commonly produced in small quantities. These waste products are commonly stockpiled or disposed of without recycling. The present invention enables the disposal and recycling of large quantities of hitherto wasted iron oxides with reduced pollutant emissions.
