The multi-stage fluidized roasting system 4 comprises a first-stage preheating fluidized roasting furnace 4.1, a second-stage reducing fluidized roasting furnace 4.2 and a third-stage reducing fluidized roasting furnace 4.3 connected in sequence. The iron ore pretreatment component is connected to the inlet of the first-stage preheating fluidized roasting furnace 4.1, the outlet of the third-stage reducing fluidized roasting furnace 4.3 is connected to the pellet preparation component, the outlet of the pellet preparation component is connected to the upper inlet of the gas-based vertical furnace 13, the biomass reduction gas preparation component is connected to the lower inlet of the gas-based vertical furnace 13, the lower outlet of the gas-based vertical furnace 13 is connected to the reduced iron powder processing component, and the upper outlet of the gas-based vertical furnace 13 is connected to the biomass reduction gas purification component.

[0017] During the working process of the present invention, the raw iron ore is processed by the iron ore pretreatment component to become iron ore powder, and the iron ore powder is sent to the multi-stage fluidized roasting system 4 through transportation equipment such as belt conveyors and bucket elevators. The multi-stage fluidized roasting system 4 has good heat and mass transfer performance. First, the material enters the first-stage preheating fluidized roasting furnace 4.1 for drying. The preheated iron ore powder enters the second-stage reducing fluidized roasting furnace 4.2 and the third-stage reducing fluidized roasting furnace 4.3 in sequence to fully contact with the biomass natural gas and perform fluidized roasting reaction. The reaction temperature is controlled between 500 and 700°C, and the reaction time is 1 to 2 hours. During the fluidized roasting reaction, CO and H2 in the reducing gas enter from the bottom of the last-stage fluidized roasting furnace of the multi-stage fluidized roasting system 4 and react with the Fe2O3 powder from top to bottom to produce Fe3O4 is produced, and the reducing gas after the reaction from bottom to top is sent to the biomass reducing gas purification component through the channel at the upper part of the cyclone separator, and the generated Fe3O4 powder is sent to the pellet preparation component. The pellet preparation component sends the dried pellet material to the upper feed bin of the gas-based vertical furnace 13, and is sent into the gas-based vertical furnace 13 by the discharger at the lower part of the feed bin. The pellets from top to bottom react with the biomass reducing gas CO and H2 from bottom to top for reduction reaction. The temperature in the vertical furnace is controlled between 950 and 1000°C, and the reduction time is 2 to 3 hours. The reaction generates elemental iron and non-metallic oxides. The reacted substances enter the reduced iron powder processing component, and the reducing gas enters the vertical furnace through the biomass reducing gas preparation component and is discharged from the upper part. This part of the reacted gas enters the biomass reducing gas purification component for purification.

[0018] As a specific implementation method of the iron ore pretreatment component, the iron ore pretreatment component includes an iron ore temporary storage bin 1, a crusher 2, and a ball mill 3 connected in sequence. The iron ore powder coming out of the ball mill 3 has a particle size between 100 and 200 meshes, and the outlet of the ball mill is connected to the inlet of the primary preheating fluidized roasting furnace 4.1.

[0019] Raw iron ore is transported from the temporary iron ore storage bin 1 via a belt conveyor to crusher 2, where it breaks down large lumps into smaller pieces for subsequent processing. High-efficiency jaw crushers or cone crushers are used to ensure uniform particle size after crushing. The crushed iron ore enters ball mill 3 for grinding to the desired particle size. Advanced ball mill equipment is used to adjust the milling time and ball-to-material ratio to maintain a controlled particle size of 100-200 mesh.

[0020] As a specific implementation of the pellet preparation assembly, the pellet preparation assembly includes a heat exchanger A5, a magnetic separator A6, an intensive mixer 7, a pelletizer 9, a chain grate 10, and a drum dryer 11 connected in sequence. The lower outlet of the three-stage reducing fluidized bed roaster 4.3 is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger A5. A bentonite temporary storage bin 8 is provided, which is connected to the intensive mixer 7.

[0021] The Fe₃O₄ powder exiting the multi-stage fluidized bed roasting system 4 is cooled to room temperature via heat exchanger A5 using inert argon circulation. The cooled powder enters magnetic separator A6, where the Fe₂O₃ powder, primarily the component, is separated. The separated powder is then mixed with bentonite from a temporary bentonite storage bin 8 in a high-pressure mixer 7 before being fed into a pelletizer 9. The green pellets are then dried in a chain grate 10 and then further dried and preheated in a drum dryer 11 to meet the quality requirements of the gas-based shaft furnace reduction process.

[0022] As a specific implementation method of the biomass reduction gas preparation component, the biomass reduction gas preparation component includes a biomass reduction gas preparation system 25, a gas storage cabinet 23, a CO conversion system 22, an MDEA decarbonization system 21 and a heating furnace B19 connected in sequence, and the outlet of the heating furnace B19 is connected to the lower end gas raw material inlet of the gas-based vertical furnace 13.

[0023] The biomass reducing gas preparation system 25 produces biomass reducing gas through processes such as biomass waste pretreatment, vacuum drying, and cracking gasification. The biomass reducing gas is stored in the gas storage cabinet 23 and sent to the CO conversion system 22 from the gas storage cabinet 23. The H2 / CO ratio is adjusted to ≥1.5 under the action of the intermediate converter. The gas then enters the MDEA decarbonization system 21 to remove CO2 from the reducing gas. The gas is then heated to 900°C in the heating furnace B19 and then enters the gas-based vertical furnace for reduction reaction.

[0024] As a specific implementation method of the biomass reduction gas purification component, the biomass reduction gas purification component includes a waste heat boiler 18 and a gas purification system 20 connected in sequence.

The decarbonized gas is mixed with fresh biomass reducing gas as circulating gas and then enters the heating furnace B19 and the gas-based vertical furnace 13 for reduction reaction.

[0026] In order to allow the reducing gas to be added to the multi-stage fluidized bed roasting system 4 for reaction, as an improvement to the technical solution, the gas storage cabinet 23 is also connected to the gas inlets of the secondary reducing fluidized bed roasting furnace 4.2 and the tertiary reducing fluidized bed roasting furnace 4.3 through the heating furnace A26, and the gas outlets of the secondary reducing fluidized bed roasting furnace 4.2 and the tertiary reducing fluidized bed roasting furnace 4.3 are connected to the gas purification system 20.

[0027] The drying energy of the first-stage preheating fluidized bed roasting furnace 4.1 comes from the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of raw materials heated by heating furnace A26 and heating furnace B19. After sufficient heat exchange with the raw material powder, it is purified and treated to meet emission standards.

[0028] As a specific implementation method of the reduced iron powder processing component, the reduced iron powder processing component includes a heat exchanger B14, a magnetic separator B15 and a bagging and packaging machine 16 connected in sequence. The solid product outlet at the lower end of the gas-based vertical furnace 13 is connected to the heat exchanger B14, and the bagging and packaging machine 16 is respectively connected to the finished product sales system 17 and the refining process system 24.

[0029] The reduced iron powder is cooled to room temperature through the heat exchanger B14, and the cooling method also adopts inert gas argon circulation cooling. The cooled product enters the magnetic separator B15, and the high-purity reduced iron powder with a purity of up to 98% is magnetically separated. Part of the high-purity reduced iron powder enters the bagging and packaging machine 16 for bagging and then sold through the finished product sales system 17, and part enters the refining process system 24 for refining into a finished product with a purity of 99.9% for sale.
