The blast furnace remains the cornerstone of high‐volume ironmaking, utilising complex thermal and chemical reactions to reduce iron oxides into molten iron. Contemporary operations place increasing ...

With a staff of over 80,000, Ukraine-headquartered Metinvest is a major name in end-to-end steel production. Looking to improve the efficiency of its blast furnaces — reducing fuel consumption by ...

China's waste incineration industry has grown rapidly, with about 90% of projects using the mechanical grate furnace process. However, municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA), classified ...

The process of ironmaking has relied for centuries on iron ore, an impure form of iron oxide, slowly being reduced to iron by carbon monoxide in a furnace. Whether that furnace is the charcoal fire of ...

The world’s largest steelmaking nation has just switched on a new kind of blast furnace, one that trades coal for hydrogen ...

Blast furnaces are an indispensable part of the iron industry. After iron ore is mined, it goes directly to the furnace to be smelted, or refined. But blast furnaces produce an incredible amount of ...

A rare decarbonization idea that looks as good for business as it does for the planet. This system promises to radically reduce carbon dioxide emissions for 70% of steelmakers, while generating ...

Proposed merger, which initially was rejected by U.S. Steel, would fully consolidate blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace steelmaking capacity in the United States. The proposed merger would almost ...
