Embodiment 1

[0057] The natural gas is mixed with the first gas, and the resulting mixture contains CO and H 2 The volume ratio is 18%, CH 4 The volume ratio is 23%. The mixed gas is sent to the preheater, the temperature is raised from 40°C to 210°C, and then sent to the heater to rise to 780°C. The obtained temperature-rising mixed gas is sent to the burner to undergo partial oxidation reaction with oxygen to obtain reducing gas, the temperature is 960℃, where CO and H 2 The volume ratio is 33%, CH 4 The volume of the gas is 16%, and the reducing gas is sent to the shaft furnace. The sponge iron produced by the reduction of laterite nickel ore pellets contains metallic iron and metallic nickel. Metallic iron and metallic nickel can be used as catalysts for the reforming reaction of methane, carbon dioxide and methane in the reducing gas to generate CO and H 2 . CO and H 2 During the upward movement, it fully contacts with laterite nickel ore pellets moving from top to bottom, and further...

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system and method for reducing laterite nickel ore pellets by natural gas triple reforming. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore is formed by long-term weathering and metamorphism of ultramafic rocks containing iron-magnesium silicate minerals. The upper layer is of limonite type, mainly composed of iron oxides; the middle layer is a transition layer; the lower layer is silicon-magnesium-nickel Ore bed. Laterite nickel ore is rich in resources, low in mining costs, and the process of beneficiation and smelting is becoming mature. It can produce a variety of intermediate products such as nickel oxide and ferronickel. It is the main source of nickel resources in the future. At present, the processes for processing laterite nickel ore include: fire process, wet process, and fire-wet combined process. [0003] The fire process is used to treat high-magnesium and low-iron laterite nickel ore. The main product is nickel-iro...
