MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202637077234 A) filed by Sms Group Gmbh on June 23, 2026, for Process And System For Reducing Metal Oxides.

Inventors include Lang, Sebastian; Valery, Roberto; Orth, Andreas; Pandey, Parizat Number; and Maduta, Robert.

The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for reducing metal oxides comprising feeding metal oxides (100, 200) and a reducing agent (101, 201) to a first reactor (106, 206) to obtain pre-reduced metal oxides (116b, 216b) and a first gaseous by-product (116a, 216a), and feeding the pre-reduced metal oxides (116b, 216b) and a reducing agent (110, 210) to a second reactor (114, 214) to obtain further reduced metal oxides (115, 215) and a second gaseous by-product (117a, 217a). The pre-reduced metal oxides (116b, 216b) are fed to the upper half of the second reactor (114, 214) and/or the pre-reduced metal oxides (116b, 216b) are fed to a solid gas separator (208) prior to being fed to the second reactor (114, 214). The invention also relates to a system for reducing metal oxides.
