Apparatus for melting fine particles containing carbon and method for

A method for agglomerating iron ore particles pre-reduced to produce hot pig iron, wherein hot iron ore particles pre-reduced in the pre-reduction furnace are simply mixed with aluminum powder or aluminum-containing metal powder before being loaded in the smelting reduction furnace so that they will be agglomerated, thereby being capable of not only simplifying the agglomeration, but also eliminating the adverse effect on the quality of ingot iron caused by impurities such as S or P. Aluminum dross, which is a waste, may be used as the aluminum-containing metal powder for agglomerating the iron ore particles. In this case, a reduced energy consumption and disposal of wastes can be achieved.
