The invention relates to a QDF (quiescent direct furnace) direct reduction technology which comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a metal-containing raw material and reducing agent powder, and putting into each reducing chamber, wherein in a reducing process, the reducing chambers and the reduced material are all kept in a stationary state; uniformly heating the materials in the reducing chambers by use of the heat generated by the combustion of the fuel in a combustion chamber and a combustion-supporting gas so as to perform a reduction reaction between the metal-containing raw material and the reducing agent, wherein each reducing chamber is a narrow long one-section reactor. According to the technology provided by the invention, the reducing chambers and the reduced material are all in a stationary state, the requirement on the strength of the granular raw material is reduced, and the production efficiency of a granulation process is improved; and the reducing time can be prolonged, and the metallization ratio of the reduction product is improved. The reducing chamber is not provided with a preheating area or a cooling area, the temperature is uniform, the atmosphere is uniform and consistent, and the overall quality of the reduction product is improved. The direct reduction technology has remarkable advantages of wide application range of raw materials, uniform temperature field, easy control on reduction process, high product metallization ratio, high yield and the like.
