ABSTRACT A method is provided for producing steel from iron oxide-containing raw materials. The raw materials are initially converted in a reduction furnace by direct reduction with a reducing gas, to a substantially metallized sponge iron. The metallized sponge iron is then melted with the addition of additives and possibly fine scrap in a melting vessel filled with a metal melt. Heat and carbon monoxide-containing exhaust gases are formed in the melting vessel due to the reaction of oxygen-containing gases with carbona- ceous material. The heat is utilized in part to melt the sponge iron and the exhaust gases are utilized for the direct reduction The melt is then transferred to a further vessel where it is further processed into steel by means of suitable metallurgical measures. In the process, the entire, strongly-heated exhaust gas from the melting vessel is caused to react in a reactor with (1) carbonaceous material, and with (2) water vapor and/or car- bon dioxide. After suitable conditioning, this exhaust gas is utilized for the direct reduction of the iron oxide-containing raw materials. An exhaust gas is formed in the direct reduction furnace during the direct reduction, and part of this exhaust gas is conducted through a gas processing system and combined with the conditioned exhaust gas from the melting vessel to form the reducing gas used in the direct reduction furnace.
