A method for controlling a flow rate of gas for prereducing ore comprises the steps of prereducing ore in a prereduction furnace having a fluidized bed with a gas generated in a smelting reduction furnace and controlling a pressure of gas generated in the smelting reduction furnace and introduced into the prereduction furnace, thereby controlling the actual flow rate of gas introduced into the prereduction furnace. An apparatus for controlling a flow rate of gas for prereducing ore comprises a flow passage for introducing gas generated in a smelting reduction furnace into a prereduction furnace and a gas pressure control valve positioned in the flow passage.

Method for smelting and reducing iron ores

A method for manufacturing molten steel wherein iron ore and coal are continuously supplied onto molten metal containing carbon of 1% or less while blowing oxygen gas is being introduced onto the molten metal through a lance. Simultaneously with this operation, stirring gas is being introduced into the molten metal at a rate of 0.05 to 0.5 Nm.sup.3 /min/ton of molten metal through a tuyere. The slag and the molten steel produced, is continuously or periodically discharged.

Method for manufacturing steel through smelting reduction

Method for adjusting chemical composition of molten pig iron tapped from

A method of regenerating molten slag remaining in a furnace or converter or the like after tapping of steel, by adding solid carbon and flux to the slag, blowing oxygen into the slag, heating to a temperature of more than 1500.degree. C and agitating. The regenerated slag can be controlled in composition to be most suitable for such ultimate uses as lime, cement, etc.

Method of treating molten slags in steel making process

In a steel making process with an oxygen top-blown converter when a certain inclining angle (.theta.) is given within a range of 0&lt;.theta..ltoreq.15.degree. to normal axis of an oxygen blow lance being supported at an upper portion of the lance and a certain number of rotation (.nu.) is given within the range of 0&lt;.nu..ltoreq.15 rpm to the lance, the blow of oxygen is possible to be properly used as the refining reactions are advanced without any delay of slagging reaction and any stagnation of non-slagging lime during blowing.
