Title:
METHOD FOR REDUCING IRON OXIDE TO METALLIC IRON USING COKE OVEN GAS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/048709
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron using coke oven gas, including: dividing coke oven gas from a coke oven gas source into a plurality of coke oven gas streams; providing a first coke oven gas stream to a hydrogen enrichment unit to form a hydrogen-rich product stream that is delivered to a reduction shaft furnace as part of a reducing gas stream; and providing a tail gas stream from the hydrogen enrichment unit to a reforming reactor to form a reformed gas stream that is delivered to a reduction shaft furnace as part of the reducing gas stream. Optionally, a spent top gas stream from the reduction shaft furnace is cleansed of CO2 and recycled back to the reducing gas stream.
