A device and a method for continuous desulphurisation of liquid iron provided by a blast furnace process or a direct reduction process. The device including a desulphurisation reactor or a plurality of consecutive desulphurisation reactors. The desulphurisation reactor or reactors each include an entry section for receiving liquid iron from liquid iron production means or from the desulphurisation reactor immediately preceding the subsequent desulphurisation reactor, and a reaction section for removing the sulphur from the liquid iron.

Device and method for continuous desulphurisation of liquid hot metal

A method of manufacturing iron in a metallurgical vessel, the vessel including a bath of molten iron with on top of the bath of molten iron a layer of slag, wherein a metalliferrous feed, carbon containing material, fluxing material, and oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas are introduced into the vessel to convert the metalliferrous feed into molten iron that is collected in the bath of molten iron and continuously or semi-continuously tapped from the vessel through an iron—outlet of the vessel, and wherein the composition of the fluxing material is selected to acquire a predetermined slag chemistry, which slag is regularly tapped out of the vessel through a slag—outlet, and the fluxing material includes slag derived from a steelmaking process.
