Abstract
Iron, for example is directly recovered from relatively fine-grained (having a grain particle size range of less than 250 microns), iron-bearing ore whereby carbon-containing materials and oxygen-containing materials are fed through a molten metal bath and converted into a CO/H.sub.2 -rich reduction gas which is sequentially passed upwardly at gas speeds of at least 1.5 m/sec. through downwardly moving ore particles within a reduction apparatus comprised of a sequence of interconnected cyclones so that ore particles in each cyclone are in a state of suspension and in intimate contact with the reduction gas and each other whereby extensive reduction of the ore particles occurs at each cyclone so that after a last cyclone the so-reduced ore particles are directly fed into a smelting means, from which liquid iron is recovered.
