Abstract
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.
