Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9946411A1] The invention relates to a method for producing liquid pig iron and/or steel blanks from materials containing iron oxide and optionally additives, preferably in the form of pieces and/or pellets. The feedstocks used are reduced to metallized iron ore in a reduction zone. The metallized iron ore is melted in a melt-down gasification zone with the addition of dried solid carbon carriers and oxygen-containing gases. A reduction gas containing CO and H2 is produced and fed into the reduction zone where it is reacted, drained off as top gas, gas washed and optionally supplied to a consumer as an export gas. Before it is washed, the top gas which is drained off from the reduction zone undergoes heat exchange with a heat exchanging fluid using all of its sensible heat. Solid carbon carriers (which are provided in order to be fed into the melt-down gasification zone) are dried with the warmed up heat exchanging fluid. The invention also relates to a system for carrying out the inventive method.
