METHOD FOR SMELTING REDUCTION OF NI ORE

摘要

A method for smelting reduction of Ni ore which comprises charging Ni ore, carbonaceous material and flux into a converter type smelting reduction furnace (10) holding molten iron (11) therein and controlling a post-combustion ratio [ ( H2O + CO2) / ( H2+ H2O + CO + CO2) ] inside the smelting reduction furnace at 0.3 or more by blowing oxygen from a top-blow oxygen lance (21) and stirring gas from a bottom-blow tuyere (24) arranged in the bottom of the smelting reduction furnace into the smelting reduction furnace. A relation between the content of carbon [[C] (%)] in the molten metal and the ratio of slag in tons produced per ton of molten metal [S(T/HMT)] is represented with a formula: [C] % >/= S ( T/HMT )/3 wherein: C represents carbon S represents the ratio of slag in tons (T) produced per ton of molten metal (HMT) T represents ton HMT represents molten metal ton i
