- coal briquettes as a heat source to smelt the iron ore are inserted into the melting and gasification furnace.
- the coal briquettes that are inserted into the melting and gasification furnace form a coal-packed bed.
- Oxygen is injected through a tuyere that is installed in the melting and gasification furnace such that the coal-packed bed is burned to generate a combustion gas.
- the combustion gas is converted to a reducing gas of a high temperature while moving upward through the coal-packed bed.
- the reducing gas of a high temperature is discharged to the outside of the melting and gasification furnace to be supplied to a reducing furnace as a reducing gas.
- the coal briquettes are manufactured by mixing and then compressing pulverized coal and a binder. It is necessary to manufacture coal briquette having improved cold strength and hot strength so that the coal briquette is used to manufacture molten iron. Accordingly the coal briquette is manufactured by using a binder, such as molasses, having improved viscosity.

- the producing method of coal briquettes may be variously modified.
- the method of producing a coal briquette includes providing pulverized coal (S10), producing a coal blend by mixing the pulverized coal with a powder-shaped cellulose ether compound (S20), adding water to the coal blend to mix them (S30), producing a mixture by mixing the coal blend including water with a hardener and molasses (S40), and producing a coal briquette by molding the coal blend (S50).
- the method of producing the coal briquette may further include other steps as needed.
- the pulverized coal may be a raw material including carbon such as bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, anthracite, coke, and the like.
- a particle size of the pulverized coal may be controlled to be 4 mm or less.
- the pulverized coal is mixed with a cellulose ether compound to provide a coal blend.
- the cellulose ether compound is added to the pulverized coal, and the mixture is uniformly mixed to provide a coal blend.
- the cellulose ether compound is not liquid but powder-shaped.
- a binder solution a carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC) solution may be used to secure better flowability by using a binder itself having low viscosity.
- the binder having low viscosity may deteriorate strength of a coal briquette.
- a liquid-type binder may not uniformly maintain a binder component due to a layer separation and also needs a special transport vehicle such as a tank lorry and the like and thus costs high.
- the binder solution is frozen during winter season and thus may not be easily stored.
- the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound when used as a binder, the cellulose ether compound itself has high viscosity and thus may provide a coal briquette having excellent strength.
- the cellulose ether compound since the cellulose ether compound is powder-shaped, the cellulose ether compound may be packed into a minimum volume and thus easily stored and also simply transported. Furthermore, it is free from being frozen during winter season. Accordingly, the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound is appropriate for use.
- Viscosity of the cellulose ether compound may be in a range of 4,000 cps to 80,000 cps.
- the viscosity of the cellulose ether compound is obtained by measuring viscosity of a cellulose ether compound aqueous solution having a concentration of 2 wt% at 20 ⁇ 0.1 ° C with DV-II+Pro (spindle HA) made by Brookfield Ametek.
- a solution including the cellulose ether compound for example, an aqueous solution including the cellulose ether compound has too low viscosity, and thus a binding force of the cellulose ether compound with the pulverized coal is decreased.
- the cellulose ether compound may include methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) or hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose (HEMC), and the like.
- the methyl cellulose (MC) has a degree of substitution with a methyl group in a range of 18 wt% to 32 wt%
- the hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) has a degree of substitution with a hydroxyethyl group in a range of 20 wt% to 80 wt%.

- the hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose HEMC
- the cellulose ether compound may not include carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC).
- an average particle size of the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound may be in a range of 50 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m.
- the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound has too small a particle size, its producing process cost is increased.
- a specific surface area of the cellulose ether compound becomes smaller, and dissolubility of the cellulose ether compound is decreased, and accordingly, a strength of a coal briquette produced by using the cellulose ether compound may be decreased. Accordingly, a particle diameter of the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound may be adjusted within the above range.
- an average particle size of the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound may be 78 ⁇ m.
- a particle diameter of the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound may be in a range of less than or equal to 0.18 mm and greater than or equal to 97 %.

- the ratio of the average particle size of the pulverized coal relative to the average particle size of the cellulose ether compound may be 10 to 20.
- the ratio of the average particle size may be maintained within the above range.
- a coal briquette having excellent strength with a minimum process cost may be produced not by directly mixing the liquid binder with the pulverized coal but by separating processes into mixing the liquid binder with the powder-shaped cellulose ether compound first and then, adding water thereto.
- a hardener and molasses are added to the coal blend to which the water is added to prepare a mixture.
- the hardener is used in a range of 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt%
- the molasses is used in a range of 3 wt% to 12 wt%.
- the hardener may be quicklime, slaked lime, calcium carbonate, limestone, cement, bentonite, clay, silica, silicate, dolomite, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, or oxide and the like.
- the binder and the hardener may have no sufficient chemical bond and secure no sufficient strength of a coal briquette.
- the hardener when the hardener is included in too large an amount, an ash component in a coal briquette is increased, and the coal briquette may not sufficiently play a role of a fuel in a melting-gasifying furnace. Accordingly, the hardener may be adjusted within the above range.
- the molasses When the molasses is used in too small an amount, a strength of a coal briquette may be deteriorated. In addition, when the molasses is used in too large an amount, the molasses may have a problem of adherence and the like during molding the mixture. Accordingly, the molasses may be adjusted within the above range. Specifically, the hardener may be included in a range of 1.0 wt% to 2.5 wt%, and the molasses may be included in a range of 5 wt% to 10 wt%.
- the mixture may include moisture in an amount of 1 wt% to 13 wt%.
- the hardener and the molasses have stronger affinity for water than that of the cellulose ether compound.
- the hardener and the molasses having affinity for water reacts moisture first, and thus the cellulose ether compound may not be completely dissolved in the water.
- a step of drying the mixture after the step (S40) may be added.
- the mixture may be dried to remove a part of moisture.
- manufacture workability of a coal briquette in a subsequent process and a strength of the coal briquette may be much improved.

- an amount of the cellulose ether compound included in the coal briquette may be 0.1 wt% to 0.7 wt%. More preferably, the amount of the cellulose ether compound may be 0.2 wt% to 0.5 wt%.
- the amount of the cellulose ether compound When the cellulose ether compound is included in too large an amount, a producing cost of a coal briquette is increased.
- the cellulose ether compound when the cellulose ether compound is included in too small an amount, a sufficient binding force may not be exhibited, and thus a strength of a coal briquette is decreased. Accordingly, the amount of the cellulose ether compound needs to be adjusted within the above range.
- an amount of the hardener included in the coal briquette may be 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt%. More preferably, the amount of the hardener may be 1.0 wt% to 2.5 wt%.
- the binder and the hardener may have no sufficient chemical bond and thus fail in sufficiently securing a strength of a coal briquette.
- the amount of the hardener is too large, an ash component in a coal briquette is increased, and thus the coal briquette may not play a sufficient role of a fuel in a melting-gasifying furnace. Accordingly, the amount of the hardener may be adjusted within the above range.
- an amount of the molasses included in the coal briquette may be 3 wt% to 12 wt%. More preferably, the amount of the molasses may be 5 wt% to 10 wt%.
- the amount of the molasses may be adjusted within the above range.
- an amount of moisture included in the coal briquette may be 3 wt% to 13 wt%. More preferably, the amount of the moisture may be 5 wt% to 11 wt%. In addition, when the amount of the moisture is too small, a cold strength of a coal briquette may be decreased. Accordingly, the amount of the moisture may be adjusted within the above range.
- the coal briquette manufactured according to the method includes 0.1 wt% to 0.7 wt% of a cellulose ether compound, 0.5 wt% to 3.0 wt% of a hardener, 3 wt% to 12 wt% of molasses, 3 wt% to 13 wt% of moisture, and a balance of pulverized coal. More preferably, it may include 0.2 wt% to 0.5 wt% of the cellulose ether compound, 1.0 wt% to 2.5 wt% of the hardener, 5 wt% to 10 wt% of the molasses, 5 wt% to 11 wt% of the moisture, and a balance of the pulverized coal.

- the molten iron manufacturing apparatus 100 of FIG. 2 includes a melting and gasification furnace 10 and a packed-bed reducing furnace 20. In addition, it may include other devices as needed. Iron ore is inserted into the packed-bed reducing furnace 20 and then reduced. The iron ore inserted into the packed-bed reducing furnace 20 is dried in advance and then passed through the packed-bed reducing furnace 20 such that reduced iron is manufactured.
- the packed-bed reducing furnace 20 is a packed-bed reducing furnace and receives the reducing gas from the melting and gasification furnace 10 to form a packed bed therein.
- the coal briquette manufactured by the method of FIG. 1 is inserted in to the melting and gasification furnace 10 and thus a coal-packed bed is formed in the melting and gasification furnace 10.
- a dome part 101 is provided in an upper portion of the melting and gasification furnace 10. That is, a space that is wider than other portions of the melting and gasification furnace 10 is formed, and high-temperature reducing gas exists in the space.
- the coal briquette inserted into the dome part 101 is converted into char through a thermal decomposition reaction by a high-temperature reducing gas.
- the char generated from the thermal decomposition reaction of the coal briquette moves to the bottom of the melting and gasification furnace 10 and then exothermically reacts with oxygen supplied through a tuyere 30.
- the coal briquette may be used as a heat source that maintains the melting and gasification furnace 10 at a high temperature. Meanwhile, since char provides ventilation, a large amount of gas generated from the lower portion of the melting and gasification furnace 10 and reduced iron supplied from the packed-bed reducing furnace 20 may more easily and uniformly pass through the coal-packed bed the melting and gasification furnace 10.
- lump carbon ash or coke may be inserted into the melting and gasification furnace 10 as needed.
- the tuyere 30 is provided in an exterior wall of the melting and gasification furnace 10 for injection of oxygen. Oxygen is injected into the coal-packed bed such that a combustion zone is formed. The coal briquette is combusted in the combustion zone to generate the reducing gas.

- a structure of the molten iron manufacturing apparatus 200 of FIG. 3 is an exemplarily structure, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, the structure of the molten iron manufacturing apparatus 200 of FIG. 3 may be variously modified.
- the structure of the molten iron manufacturing apparatus 200 of FIG. 3 is similar to the structure of the molten iron manufacturing apparatus 100 of FIG. 2 , and therefore like reference numerals designate like elements in the molten iron production apparatus 100 of FIG. 2 , and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
- the molten iron manufacturing apparatus 200 includes a melting and gasification furnace 10, a fluidized-bed reducing furnace 22, reduced iron compression device 40, and a compression reduced iron storage bath 50.
- the compression reduced iron storage bath 50 may be omitted.
- the manufactured coal briquettes are inserted into the melting and gasification furnace 10.

- Fine iron ores are supplied to a plurality of reducing furnaces 22 having fluidized beds, and are fluidized by a reducing gas supplied to the fluidized-bed reducing furnace 22 from the melting and gasification furnace 10 such that reduced iron is manufactured.
- the reduced iron is compressed by the reduced iron compression device 40 and stored in the compression reduced iron storage bath 50.
- the compressed reduced iron is inserted into the melting and gasification furnace 10 from the compression reduced iron storage bath 50 together with coal briquettes and then molten in the melting and gasification furnace 10.
- the briquette coal is supplied to the melting and gasification furnace 10 and converted into char having ventilation, and as a result, a large amount of gas generated at the bottom of the melting and gasification furnace 10 and the compressed reduced iron more easily and uniformly pass through a coal-packed bed in the melting and gasification furnace 10, such that molten iron with high quality may be provided.
- alkali components may be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a dispersing plate (not illustrated) or a cyclone (not illustrated) in the fluidized-bed reducing furnace 22 from being clogged due to the deposition of alkali components such as potassium by the molasses containing a large amount of alkali components.
- pulverized coal less than or equal to 0.2 mm of cellulose ether compound powder, water, quicklime as a hardener, and molasses are mixed in order to prepare a mixture.
- pulverized coal a mixture of hard coking coal, semi soft coking coal, and cokes power was used, and as for the cellulose ether compound, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC, Mecellose®) made by Samsung Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. was used. The obtained mixture was inserted between a pair of rolls to produce a coal briquette.
- the pair of rolls was used under a pressure of 20 kN/cm, and the coal briquette was produced to have a size of 64.5 mm x 25.4 mm x 19.1 mm and a pillow shape.
- the other detail producing process of the coal briquette may be easily understood by a person having an ordinary skill in a related art of the present invention, and thus its detailed description will be omitted.
- a drop strength and a compression load of the coal briquettes according to Experimental Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were measured.
- the drop strength of each coal briquette was obtained from a ratio of coal briquettes having a diameter of greater than or equal to +20 mm after freely 4 times dropping the 2 kg of the coal briquette from 5 M high.
- the compression load of each coal briquette was measured as a maximum load when compressed at a speed of 50 mm/min, an average compression load of 20 coal briquette specimens was obtained, and the results are shown in Table 1.
