Problems solved by technology

[0002] Blast furnace ironmaking is a relatively mature ironmaking method at present. It has the characteristics of simple process, large output, high labor productivity and low energy consumption. The disadvantage is that it has high requirements for ore grade. In particular, my country is a country that is poor in iron ore, and there is a serious lack of high-grade and high-quality iron ore resources. Many large-scale iron and steel enterprises have to import ore raw materials, which brings about the problem of rising ore prices and increasing production costs, which seriously interferes Healthy Development of Iron and Steel Industry
The existing smelting reduction iron methods are mainly smelting reduction technologies represented by Corex, Finex, and Hismelt. COREX is the first to realize industrial production and the most mature technology, but it still has its shortcomings, such as low productivity, coal consumption, oxygen consumption, etc. Compared with the existing advanced blast furnace ironmaking, it still lacks competitiveness
In addition, most of the iron ores mined in my country are of low grade and contain many impurities, so they cannot be directly smelted in blast furnaces, thus forming a low-grade threshold for blast furnace ironmaking.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for reducing iron by smelting reduction in electrometallurgy. The method is characterized by taking electric energy as a heat source and natural ore or artificial ore, carbonaceous reducing agent and solvent as raw materials and comprising the following steps: pre-reducing the raw materials at the temperature of 700 to 900 DEG C for 4 to 6 h; heating to 1,400 to 1,700 DEG C in an electric furnace so as to smelt the furnace burden and reduce into molten iron and slag, and discharging the molten iron and slag to a foundry ladle; meanwhile, dedusting the smoke dust during the smelting, wherein the smoke is returned to a pre-reducing device and used as reducing gas; the smoke dust is used for manual granulation and recycled; the molten iron is cast and formed or directly used for steelmaking; and the slag is processed for other purposes. The method has the advantages of simple process and equipment, little occupation, low requirements on raw materials, wide applicable range, low sulphur load of produced molten iron compared with molten iron of a blast furnace and good product quality, while saving investment and resources without needing equipment for coking, sintering and the like or using coke as fuel.
