Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02068700A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a melt iron in an electric arc furnace which comprises several electrodes, is fitted with a hearth and contains a heel, on top of which is disposed a non-foaming liquid slag. The inventive method comprises the following steps: the reduction of the metallic fillers to form pre-reduced metallic fillers comprising excess free carbon; the hot transfer of said pre-reduced metallic fillers inside an inert gas curtain into a heel contained in the electric arc furnace; the mixing of the heel through the injection of gas so as to prevent crust formation; the smelting of the pre-reduced metallic fillers in the electric arc furnace in order to produce the melt iron.
