ABSTRACT:
A method for producing metallic iron in which a mixture including a carbonaceous reducing agent and iron oxide is fed onto a hearth of a moving hearth reducing-melting furnace and is then heated so that the iron oxide is reduced and melted. Metallic iron to be obtained is cooled and is then discharged outside the furnace for recovery. Prior to the feed of raw agglomerates, a granular hearth material is bedded on the moving hearth for forming a layered renewable hearth which can be renewed. Part or the entirety of the renewable hearth which was degraded during operation is renewed, and the hearth material for forming a new renewable hearth is fed. The surface of the newly formed hearth is then leveled and mixture is subsequently fed.
