The decline of production in metallurgy and the allied branches of industry and the instability of the conditions of the supplying of the enterprise with raw materials and energy carriers on the background of their steep price increase have led to critical requirements relating to the solution of the resource conservation problem as the primary component in the direct cost of production of the metallurgy enterprises, in which the central resource-consuming component is the ore-smelting furnace (OSF). We shall examine a new approach (1) to the conserving of the mineral raw materials, the carbonaceous reducing agents, and the electric energy for the example of the conversion of an OSF that is used for the smelting of metallurgical silicon to operation using rectified current.
