ABSTRACT A method and apparatus for manufacturing sponge iron by the continuous reduction of iron oxides in a shaft utilizing recirculation gases. Reaction gas is removed from the shaft furnace, substantially cleaned of all CO2 and H2O, and then divided into at least two flow portions one of which is passed to a gas generator comprising a plasma burner. A reducing agent such as pit coal is injected together with a oxidant into the hot gas from the plasma burner so as to form a gas mixture mainly comprising CO and H2, which gas mixture is then mixed with the other flow portion of the cleaned reaction gas in such a proportion that the temperature of the resulting reduction gas is suitable for the reduction of iron oxides in the shaft furnace. The reduction gas is then injected into the shaft furnace and passed upwardly to reduce iron oxides contained there to form sponge iron which is then removed.
