MEJORAS EN PROCEDIMIENTO PARA LA REDUCCION CICLICA POR LOTE DE UN OXIDO METALICO A METAL ESPONJA

摘要

The cooling of sponge iron produced in a multiple reactor unit batch system for reducing iron ore is enhanced by using an extended cooling cycle wherein the reactor previously isolated at the end of a cycle for discharge and recharging in prior art systems is retained on stream for a portion of the succeeding cycle.
