Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for separating fine metal particles from the top gas of a metallurgical furnace (20), comprising: at least one gas transport pipe (10) configured to convey the top gas out of the metallurgical furnace (20); at least one coarse particle separator (11) for separating coarse particles from the top gas; at least one first collection tank (12) coupled downstream of the at least one coarse particle separator (11); at least one fine particle separator (13) for separating fine metal particles from the top gas; and at least one second collection tank (14) coupled downstream of the at least one fine particle separator (13), the at least one second collection tank (14) being configured to receive a slurry comprising the fine metal particles separated from the top gas; wherein the at least one gas transport pipe (10) forms a downstream connection between the metallurgical furnace (20), the at least one coarse particle separator (11) and the at least one fine particle separator (13). The invention also relates to a method for separating fine metal particles from the top gas of a metallurgical furnace (20), as well as to a metallurgical furnace (20) for producing pig iron and separating fine metal particles.
