That is, looking at the decarburization zone (see FIG.
When the C content of the product steel powder is set to 0.005 wt%, the CO concentration in the atmosphere gas in the decarburization zone should be 3%.
It must be vol%. Therefore, when the suction gas from the zone is always continuously analyzed and the CO concentration analysis value is 5.0 vol%, the relationship between the hydrogen gas flow rate and the CO amount in the atmosphere as shown in FIG. With the help of the arithmetic control means that is input, the appropriate hydrogen gas flow rate to be supplied to the zone is calculated, and the calculated value (16
0 Nm 3 / hr). Instead of adjusting the flow rate of hydrogen gas as described above, the moving speed of crude iron and steel powder and the amount of CO in the atmosphere (vo
1%) is input, with the aid of the arithmetic control means, the proper crude iron and steel powder movement speed is calculated,
You may change and adjust to a calculated value (for example, 40 cm / min). In the deoxidizing zone and the denitrifying zone, the operation is performed while performing the same operation as above.
