ABSTRACT:
A powdery or fine granular ore containing metal oxides is melted and refined by charging the ore and a part of a reducing gas discharged from a vertical type of melting and reducing furnace into a fluidized bed type of preliminary reducing furnace to preliminary reduce the ore therein, charging the preliminary reduced ore heated at a high temperature into the above described melting and reducing furnace and melting and reducing the ore by using a carbonaceous solid reducing agent and air or oxygen rich air heated at a high temperature and discharging the molten metal and the molten slag from the melting and reducing furnace. By using the preliminary reduction step, the pretreatment of the powdery or fine granular ore containing metal oxides, such as formation into pellets, sintered ores, briquets and the like can be omitted.
