A device for producing expanded granulated material from mineral material in the form of grains of sand with an expanding agent includes a furnace with a furnace shaft, having an upper end and a lower end. A conveying section extends between the two ends and passes through a number of heating zones arranged separately from one another in a conveying direction. The device also includes at least one feeder in order to charge at least the unexpanded material into the furnace shaft at one of the two ends in the direction of the other of the two ends. At least one directing element is at least partly arranged in the furnace shaft and forms a gap with an inner wall of the furnace shaft, at least in the region of one of the two ends. The at least one feeder is designed for charging the material into the gap.

A side-type powder top blown furnace and method for treating the furnace is disclosed. The furnace includes a cylindrical furnace body, powder material inlet nozzles, a furnace top sample rod, a top blown furnace spray gun, a belt feeding inlet, a branch conveying pipe, a quantitative pneumatic conveying device, a powder material collecting bin, a powder collecting bin feeding inlet and a furnace top cover; the powder material inlet nozzles are symmetrically arranged around a furnace wall of the cylindrical furnace body on the same horizontal plane. The disclosure can solve the problems of large transportation flying loss, large return amount, poor operating environment, harm to the health of operators and the like in the tin smelting process.

The invention relates to a method for the direct reduction of oxidic iron carrier particles to a reduction product in a fluidized bed through which a reduction gas containing 30-100 mol % hydrogen H.sub.2 flows in crossflow. At least 90% by mass of oxidic iron carrier particles introduced into the fluidized bed have a particle size of less than or equal to 200 micrometers. The superficial velocity U of the reduction gas flowing through the fluidized bed is set between 0.05 m/s and 1 m/s such that, for the particle size d equal to d.sub.30 of the oxidic iron carrier particles introduced into the fluidized bed, it is above the theoretical suspension velocity U.sub.t and is less than or equal to U.sub.max.
