<p>A method for producing raw iron from iron-bearing oxidic material, comprising finally reducing the iron oxide by charging the iron oxide, coal, oxygen gas and slag-forming flux to a molten iron bath contained in at least one reactor vessel, a final reduction reactor (2), for final reduction of the iron oxide, and pre-reducing primarily non reduced iron oxide in a pre-reduction stage (1), and subsequently charging the pre-reduced iron oxide to the reactor, and generating reduction gas (17) for the afore-said pre-reduction process. The method is particularly characterized in that the reduction gas for the pre-reduction process (1) is generated by a separate gas generating process (3) effected in at least one reactor (3), a gas generating reactor, separate from the final reduction reactor or reactors (2). The invention also relates to a plant for carrying out the method.</p> |
