und darüber getrieben werden kann, sich in den aus dem Drehrohrofen entweichenden Gasen keine nennenswerten Kohlenoxydmengen befinden, so dass sich das Verfahren durch eine möglichst hohe Wärmeausbeute des Brennstoffes auszeichnet.
Die Tatsache, dass, trotz der Verwendung nicht reduzierender, sondern sogar oxydierender Heizgase zur Erhitzung des Möllers, die sehr weitgehende Reduktion des Eisens mit guter Ausbeute des Brennstoffes erzielt werden kann, ist überraschend, doch lässt sich dieses Ergebnis, wie durch Versuche festgestellt worden ist, tatsächlich dadurch erreichen, dass die oxydierenden Heizgase mit ihrer höchsten Temperatur mit dem fertig reduzierten Möller in Berührung treten und die Temperatur der Gase gegen diejenigen Abschnitte des Drehrohrofens, in denen die Reduktion des Möllers weniger fortgeschritten ist, allmählich abnimmt.
Bei den erfolgreichen Versuchen war die Temperatur des Möllers am Austragungsende des Drehrohrofens etwa 9000 C, während die Heizgase an dieser Stelle eine Temperatur von etwa 12000 C besassen und den Drehrohrofen mit etwa 4000 C verliessen.
Die durch das Verfahren geschaffenen Verhältnisse erübrigen die Pulverisierung des Erzes, ohne den Grad der Reduktion herabzusetzen.
Da die in die Trommel eingeführten Heizgase durch eine möglichst vollkommene Verbrennung erzeugt werden und das bei der Reduktion des Erzes durch den festen Brennstoff entwickelte Kohlenoxyd durch einen den Heizgasen beigemischten ursprünglichen Sauerstoffüberschuss oder durch in den Rohrofen eingeführte Sekundärluft noch in dem Rohrofen verbrannt wird, enthalten die aus der Trommel entweichenden Gase keine nennenswerten Mengen brennbarer Gase, so dass der Brennstoff mit sehr gutem Wirkungsgrade ausgenutzt wird.
Dadurch, dass die Abgase keine nennenswerten Mengen brennbares Gas (Kohlenoxyd) enthalten, ist das vorliegende Verfahren dem Hochofenverfahren ilberlegen.
Die Wärme der Abgase kann noch zur Vorwärmung des Möllers und der Verbrennungsluft herangezogen werden. Es ist daher zweckmässig, dem Erz und der Kohle gleichzeitig auch die zur Schlackenbildung erforderliehen Zuschläge, wie Kalk und Flussspat, beizumengen, obwohl die Erhitzung in dem Rohr-

Die zur Beheizung des Drehrohrofens dienenden Heizgase können durch Verbrennen eines beliebigen Brennstoffes erzeugt werden. Die Menge des in den Rohrofen eingeführten Kohlenoxydes darf wegen der wirtschaftlichen Wärmeausbeute nicht so hoch sein, dass sich im Rohrofen eine reduzierende Flamme oder Atmosphäre bildet ; vielmehr soll die Flamme unter Verbrennung auch der im Ofen selbst entwickelten flüchtigen brennbaren Stoffe lediglich eine möglichst günstige kalorische Wirkung ausüben, während die Reduktion selbst ausschliesslich durch den mit Erz vermischten festen Brennstoff bewirkt wird.

and it can be driven that there are no significant amounts of carbon oxide in the gases escaping from the rotary kiln, so that the process is characterized by the highest possible heat yield from the fuel.
The fact that, despite the use of not reducing, but even oxidizing heating gases for heating the Möllers, the very extensive reduction of iron can be achieved with a good yield of fuel, is surprising, but this result, as has been determined by experiments can actually be achieved in that the oxidizing heating gases at their highest temperature come into contact with the completely reduced Möller and the temperature of the gases gradually decreases towards those sections of the rotary kiln in which the reduction of the Möller is less advanced.
In the successful tests, the temperature of the Möller at the discharge end of the rotary kiln was around 9000 C, while the heating gases at this point had a temperature of around 12000 C and left the rotary kiln at around 4000 C.
The conditions created by the process obviate the need to pulverize the ore without reducing the degree of reduction.
Since the heating gases introduced into the drum are generated by as complete a combustion as possible and the carbon oxide developed during the reduction of the ore by the solid fuel is still burned in the tube furnace by an original excess of oxygen added to the heating gases or by secondary air introduced into the tube furnace, the gases escaping from the drum do not have any significant quantities of flammable gases, so that the fuel is used with very good efficiency.
Because the exhaust gases do not contain any significant quantities of combustible gas (carbon oxide), the present process is superior to the blast furnace process.
The heat from the exhaust gases can also be used to preheat the Möllers and the combustion air. It is therefore advisable to add the additives required for slag formation, such as lime and fluorspar, to the ore and the coal at the same time, although the heating in the pipe

Heating the supplements on. The sponge iron produced in the rotary kiln is, as usual, melted down in a second furnace.
The heating gases used to heat the rotary kiln can be generated by burning any fuel. The amount of carbon dioxide introduced into the tube furnace must not be so high, because of the economic heat yield, that a reducing flame or atmosphere is formed in the tube furnace; Rather, the flame should only have the most favorable caloric effect possible while burning the volatile combustible substances developed in the furnace itself, while the reduction itself is brought about exclusively by the solid fuel mixed with ore.
