Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing a sintered ore includes charging a sintering raw material containing a powder ore and a carbonaceous material onto a circulatory moving pallet to form a charged layer, igniting the carbonaceous material on a surface of the charged layer, introducing air above the charged layer containing a gaseous fuel diluted to not more than a lower limit of combustion concentration with wind boxes arranged below the pallet into the charged layer by suction, and combusting the gaseous fuel and the carbonaceous material in the charged layer, wherein more than 50% of a total supply of the gaseous fuel is supplied in a front ½ portion of a region supplying the gaseous fuel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a sintered ore comprising: charging a sintering raw material containing a powder ore and a carbonaceous material onto a circulatory moving pallet to form a charged layer, igniting the carbonaceous material on a surface of the charged layer, introducing air above the charged layer containing a gaseous fuel diluted to not more than a lower limit of combustion concentration with wind boxes arranged below the pallet into the charged layer by suction, and combusting the gaseous fuel and the carbonaceous material in the charged layer, wherein the region supplying the gaseous fuel is a region wherein a high-temperature keeping time kept at not lower than 1200° C. but not higher than 1380° C. is less than 150 seconds when the area is sintered by combustion heat of only the carbonaceous material, and wherein more than 50% of a total supply of the gaseous fuel is supplied in a front ⅓ portion of a region supplying the gaseous fuel. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the region supplying the gaseous fuel is not more than 40% of a machine length ranging from an ignition furnace to an ore removing portion. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the concentration of the gaseous fuel contained in air introduced in the charged layer is not more than the lower limit of combustion concentration. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the gaseous fuel contained in air introduced in the charged layer is not more than the lower limit of combustion concentration.
