shaft-type kiln where smelting-charge materials are preheated to 600 °C by burning cleaned carbon monoxide (CO) gas from the closed smelting furnace. Preheating removes water and other volatile components, stabilizing conditions in the smelting furnace and decreasing the specific energy consumption of the furnace.
Smelting is a 6,000-year-old industrial molding process that involves melting a solid material to shape it into a liquid that will be used to fill a mold and create a desired part or product. In the metalworking industry, this process varies depending on the type of metals and types of scrap metal used to produce a wide variety of objects.
