Summary:The present invention pertains to metallurgical processes and equipment and, more particularly, to a metallurgical furnace capable of operating with a broad range of broad range of raw materials and fuels, including those with high levels of impurities. Accordingly, the metallurgical furnace of the present invention comprises (i) at least an upper tub (1), (ii) at least a lower tub (2), (iii) at least a fuel feeder positioned substantially between the at least an upper tub (1) and the at least a lower tub (2), (iv) at least a row of tuyeres (3, 4) positioned on at least one of at least an upper tub (1) and at least a lower tub (2), the at least a row of tuyeres (3, 4) fluidly communicating inside the furnace with the outside environment, and (v) at least a burner (10) positioned on at least one of at least an upper tub (1) and at least a lower tub (2). The use of at least a burner (10) jointly with the at least a row of tuyeres (3, 4) generates a very intense release of heat by virtue of the exothermic reactions which occur by this combination.
