Hot Metal Production by Smelting Reduction of Iron Oxide

This book, now in its second edition, offers comprehensive coverage of the smelting reduction of iron oxide an emerging alternative method of producing hot metal without using coke. This technique is being increasingly used for hot metal production, which has up to now, been dominated by the traditional blast furnace method. The shortage of coking coal, the high cost of coke and the recent enforcement of stricter environmental regulations have resulted in the advent of smelting reduction as...
