Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4083235A1] Provided is a method for charging raw material into a blast furnace which enables the formation of coke-mixed ore layers for securing gas permeability in the furnace and maintaining high reduction reactivity.The method for charging raw material into a blast furnace in which a mixture of ore and mixing coke is charged into the blast furnace in two or more separated batches by using a bell-less charging equipment with a charging chute, includes classifying the ore into coarse grain ore and fine grain ore having a smaller average grain diameter than the coarse grain ore, mixing the coarse grain ore with the mixing coke to prepare coke-mixed coarse grain ore, and mixing the fine grain ore with the mixing coke to prepare coke-mixed fine grain ore; and charging, at least in a first batch, the entirety or a part of the coke-mixed coarse grain ore into the blast furnace by tilting the charging chute from a position closer to a center of the blast furnace than a midpoint between the center of the blast furnace and a wall of the blast furnace in a radial direction of the blast furnace toward the wall of the blast furnace.
