SMELTING CYCLONE AND APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH SUCH A SMELTING CYCLONE

摘要

The invention relates to a smelting cyclone for the production of pre-reduced molten iron oxides, wherein the smelting cyclone is provided with a first and second opening, the first opening serving as an inlet for reducing process gas and as an outlet for molten pre-reduced iron oxides and the second opening serving as an outlet for process gas, with supply means to supply iron ore into the smelting cyclone and with supply means to supply oxygen into the smelting cyclone, wherein additional heating means are provided to prevent solidification of molten iron oxides at the outlet of the smelting cyclone.
