ABSTRACT This invention relates to a method for producing metal from an oxidic material characterized in that final reduction and melting of a pre-reduced oxidic material takes place in the presence of a solid reduction agent in lump form, that the reducing gas leaving the final reduction stage is used for pre-reducing the incoming oxidic material without the presence of solid reduction agent, that extra energy is supplied to the final reduction and melting stage by means of a gaseous energy carrier and that the gas leaving the pre-reduction stage is used as fuel for pre-heating incoming oxidic material. This invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method characterized in that it comprises at least two interconnected shaft furnaces to be used for pre-heating and pre-reduction respectively final reduction and melting. The energy consumption using this invention is lower than the energy consumption obtained in prior art processes.
