HISMELT~R - THE ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR IRONMAKING

摘要

The extensive and very successful testing of the HIsmelt Direct Ironmaking Process provides the basis to commercialise the technology to meet the iron needs of the globalsteelindustry in the 21~st Century. The technology addresses key issues that currently confront the industry, such as, high capital and operating costs, environmental constraints including plant waste disposal, andlack of production flexibility. Iron and steelmakers in the Asian region are set to benefit significantly due to their proximity to the vastresources of iron ore fines and non coking coals which the process utilises with minimum preparation.
