Molten Iron Manufacturing Apparatus And Molten Iron Manufacturing Method

Abstract: Disclosed are a molten iron manufacturing apparatus and a molten iron manufacturing method. The molten iron manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a drying device which dries a material containing carbon using exhaust gas discharged in the steelmaking process; a gasification furnace which charges the dried material containing carbon through a conduit connected to the drying device and then produces reduction gas by combusting the material containing carbon using high temperature hot wind or oxygen; and a molten iron furnace which is connected to the gasification furnace through the conduit and manufactures molten iron by charging iron ore or reduction iron into the furnace and taking in the reduction gas through an injector.

Specification

[Claim 1]
An apparatus of manufacturing an ingot iron, comprising;
a drier for drying a carbon-containing material by using an exhaust gas :, discharged during a steelmaking process;
a gasifier generating a reducing gas by charging the dried carbon-
containing material through a conduit connected to the drier and then
combusting the carbon-containing material by a high temperature hot wind or
oxygen; and
lo an ingot iron furnace connected to the gasifier through the conduit and
allowing an iron ore or a reduced iron to be charged thereinto and allowing the reducing gas to be blown through a tuyere thereinto to manufacture the ingot iron.
ir> [Claim 2]
The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:
a hot wind furnace for supplying the high temperature hot wind to the gasifier.
20 [Claim 3]
The apparatus of claim 1 or 2, further comprising: an exhaust gas supply apparatus for supplying the exhaust gas discharged from the ingot iron furnace to the gasifier.

[Claim 4]
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
the drier partially combusts the exhaust gas discharged during the steelmaking process to remove or reduce moisture or a volatile matter included in the carbon-containing material.
[Claim 5]
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
the ingot iron furnace is any one of a blast furnace, a FINEX melting gasifier, and a COREX melting gasifier.
[Claim 6]
The apparatus of claim 5, wherein:
in the case where the ingot iron furnace is the FINEX melting gasifier, the reducing gas generated in the gasifier is blown into the FINEX melting gasifier or a multi-stage fluidized-reduction furnace.
[Claim 7]
The apparatus of claim 5, wherein:
in the case where the ingot iron furnace is the COREX melting gasifier, the reducing gas generated in the gasifier is blown into the COREX melting gasifier or a shaft furnace.

[Claim 8]
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
a hydrogen (H2) content of the reducing gas is 30% or less.
[Claim 9]
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
a pressure of the gasifier is 5 bar or more and 20 bar or less.
[Claim 10]
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
a temperature of the reducing gas generated in the gasifier is 1,000°C or more.
[Claim 11]
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:
the carbon-containing material is at least one selected from the group consisting of a coal, a pulverized coal, a thermal coal, a RDF, a RPF, and biomass.
[Claim 12]
A method of manufacturing an ingot iron, comprising:
drying a carbon-containing material by using an exhaust gas discharged

during a steelmaking process;
generating a reducing gas by charging the dried carbon-containing material into a gasifier and then combusting the carbon-containing material; and
charging an iron ore or a reduced iron into a furnace and blowing the reducing gas to perform reduction.
[Claim 13]
The method of claim 12, further comprising:
blowing the exhaust gas discharged after the iron ore or the reduced iron is reduced in the gasifier.
[Claim 14]
The method of claim 12 or 13, wherein:
in the drying of the carbon-containing material, the exhaust gas discharged during the steelmaking process is partially combusted to remove or reduce moisture or a volatile matter included in the carbon-containing material.
[Claim 15]
The method of claim 12, wherein:
the generating of the reducing gas is performed by blowing a high temperature hot wind or oxygen into the gasifier.
[Claim 16]

The method of claim 12, wherein:
the furnace is any one of a blast furnace, a FINEX melting gasifier, and a COREX melting gasifier.
[Claim 17]
The method of claim 12, wherein:
a hydrogen (H2) content of the reducing gas is 30% or less.
[Claim 18]
The method of claim 12, wherein:
a pressure of the gasifier is 5 bar or more and 20 bar or less.
[Claim 19]
The method of claim 12, wherein:
a temperature of the reducing gas generated in the gasifier is 1,000°C or more.
[Claim 20]
The method of claim 12, wherein:
the carbon-containing material is at least one selected from the group consisting of a coal, a pulverized coal, a thermal coal, a RDF, a RPF, and biomass.
