Abstract
Upon cooling to 15 to 45° C., a process for the treatment of raw product gas generated by pressure gasification of solid fuels comprises the removal of HCN and NH3 in a preliminary stage, of H2S and COS and possibly other sulfur-containing compounds in a first stage and of CO2 in a second stage by physisorption with cold oxygenate, and the pure product gas is supplied to the direct reduction of iron ore as reduction gas and/or as fuel gas. An improvement of the process consists in that recycle gas loaded with CO2 and steam, which is branched off from the circuit of the recycle gas of the direct reduction of iron ore, is admixed to the desulfurized product gas upon removal of the steam contained therein.
