Abstract

See full text

The present invention is concerned with a method for the pre-reduction of laterite fines in a reactor, preferably a fluidized bed, with reducing gases generated in situ by adding a reducing agent such as a carbonaceous material in the fluidized bed chamber, fluidizing the bed with an oxidizing gas and maintaining the reactor at a temperature sufficiently high to partially combust the coal and generate a reducing atmosphere. The reactor bed discharge calcine product has a carbon content of about 0.1%, and the composite reactor product has a carbon content lower than 2.0%.
