Method for reducing iron containing particles, apparatus for cleaning an introduction gas stream, system comprising such an apparatus and use of such an apparatus or a system

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for reducing iron-containing particles (105) contained in an inlet gas stream (101), wherein the method comprises the following steps: - introducing the inlet gas stream (101) into a reduction volume (20); - retaining at least a portion of the iron-containing particles (105) in the reduction volume (20) at least temporarily; and - reducing at least a portion of the retained iron-containing particles (105) to increase their reduction degree. The invention further relates to an apparatus (10) for cleaning an inlet gas stream (101) containing iron-containing particles (105) and a system (100) comprising this apparatus (10) and a direct reduction reactor (30). (Figure 1) The invention further relates to an apparatus (10) for cleaning an introduction gas stream (101) containing iron containing particles (105) and a system (100) comprising such an apparatus (10) and a direct reduction reactor (30).
