Title:
METAL OXIDE SMELTING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/147146
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a smelting method in which, for example, a metal oxide such as a nickel oxide ore including nickel oxide is used as a source material and is reduced with a carbonaceous reducing agent to obtain a reduced product, with which method efficient processing can be achieved. This metal oxide smelting method is, for example, a nickel oxide ore smelting method. Specifically, the method includes a reduction process step that has: a drying step in which a mixture that was obtained by mixing a metal oxide and a carbonaceous reducing agent is dried; a preheating step in which the dried mixture is preheated; a reduction step in which the preheated mixture is reduced using a rotary hearth furnace, said rotary hearth having a hearth that rotates and not having a partition structure in an interior; and a cooling step in which the obtained reduced product is cooled.
