Title:
METHOD FOR DRYING MOLDING CONTAINING OXIDIZED METAL, METHOD FOR REDUCING OXIDIZED METAL AND ROTARY HEARTH TYPE METAL REDUCTION FURNACE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/031659
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for drying a molding containing moisture without causing burst or powdering, a method for reducing a dried molding efficiently in a rotary hearth type reduction furnace, and a rotary hearth type metal reduction furnace. At the time of drying a molding composed of powder containing an oxidized metal and carbon, a limit value of moisture evaporation rate causing no burst is determined from the size and porosity of the molding and a steam generation rate lower than that limit value is employed in order to prevent inner pressure rise of the molding due to steam generation. The molding is prevented from bursting or cracking by that method. At the time of drying the molding in the rotary core floor type reduction furnace, heat supply rate to the molding is controlled by that method and burst is prevented thus firing and reducing the molding continuously in the same furnace.
