A distributor bottom, particularly a nozzle-type distributor bottom, for steadily introducing process gas, especially process gas loaded with solid particles, into a process chamber, optionally to create a fluidized bed. The process chamber is disposed above the distributor bottom and is formed by walls of a reactor used for metallurgically, particularly thermally, treating feedstock. The distributor bottom is provided with a plurality of holes. Holes are arranged near the walls to prevent substances from attaching to the reactor walls. Special arrangements relate to nozzles and ducts.

An apparatus and a method for manufacturing molten pig iron by using a fine iron ore are disclosed. Coal is used to produce a reducing gas, and a fine iron ore is used to produce a molten iron and a reduced iron in a simple and efficient manner. The apparatus for manufacturing a molten iron by directly using coal as the fuel is as follows. A high temperature reducing gas is sent from a melter-gasifier to a fluidized bed lime stone calcining furnace to calcine the lime stone. The reducing gas is supplied to a second fluidized bed reducing furnace so as to manufacture a reduced iron directly. An off-gas from the second fluidized bed reducing furnace is supplied to a first fluidized bed reducing furnace (disposed above the second fluidized bed reducing furnace) to pre-heat and pre-reduce the fine iron ore. The calcined lime stone and the finally reduced iron are supplied to a melter-gasifier to manufacture a molten pig iron.

A device is disclosed for directly charging raw material into a melter-gasifier in a molten iron manufacturing facility using coal and fine iron ore. The elutriation of fine dusts is inhibited while directly charging coal and reduced fines into the melter-gasifier. The direct charging device is applied to a fluidized bed type final reducing furnace and has a plurality of discharging outlets for discharging the fines. The melter-gasifier receives lump coal to form a coal packed bed within it and receives the reduced fine iron ore from the final reducing furnace. The direct charging device includes a plurality of charging inlets formed on the side wall of the melter-gasifier connected by conduits to the discharging outlets of the final reducing furnace whereby reduced fine iron ore is continuously charged from the final reducing furnace to the coal packed bed of the melter-gasifier.

An apparatus for keeping an optimal penetration depth formed at the front end of an oxygen tuyere in the producing facilities of molten pig iron utilizing non-coking coal and a method for keeping the same. A sensor for measuring distance using a laser for continuously measuring the penetration depth, is provided. Comprised is a process computer for continuously receiving the measured penetration depth from the sensor and comparing the received penetration depth with a predetermined optimal penetration depth to obtain a difference between them, and for obtaining a changing amount of a pressure in a melter gasifier through a mutual relation between a predetermined changing amount of a pressure in the melter gasifier with that of the penetration depth using the difference between the actual penetration depth with the optimal penetration depth. A scrubber cone controlling device for receiving the changing amount of the pressure in the melter gasifier from the process computer for changing an opening degree of a scrubber cone to change the pressure in the melter gasifier, is included. The apparatus and the method can actively cope with the change of the volumetric flow rate of the oxygen and the change of the constituting material in a coal packed bed, and can actively control an applied pressure in the melter gasifier to control the blowing velocity of the oxygen. The penetration depth can be optimally kept.

Disclosed is a method for increasing the charring ratio of coal. In manufacturing an ingot iron using the coal, magnesium oxide or limestone is used as an additive for charring the coal. The additive increases the charring ratio of the coal while giving no affection onto slag. An MgO suspension or limestone suspension is mixed with the coal and thus obtained mixture is dried to attach MgO or the limestone onto the surface of the coal. The charring effect is increased and the using amount of coke can be reduced.
