The steel industry's journey toward carbon neutrality has gained momentum, with hydrogen-based and electric ironmaking technologies advancing more rapidly in recent years than before. These ...

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 ...

After more than a decade of intensive research in China, a new ironmaking technology is poised to revolutionise the global steel manufacturing industry. The method involves injecting finely ground ...

Known as flash ironmaking, the method "can complete the ironmaking process in just three to six seconds, compared to the five to six hours required by traditional blast furnaces", wrote the ...

Japanese archaeologist Omura Sachihiro, who studied the origins of ironmaking in Turkey, has died. He was 78. Our site uses ...

Steel is the backbone of modern civilization—used in everything from buildings and bridges to cars and appliances. On the other hand, steelmaking is one of the world’s largest sources of ...

The steel industry's journey toward carbon neutrality has gained momentum, with hydrogen-based and electric ironmaking technologies advancing more rapidly in recent years than before. These ...

Electrochemical ironmaking isolates the metal by passing electricity through a liquid that holds iron-containing feedstocks. Compared to high-temperature blast furnaces, the electrochemical ...

The plant will harness ABB’s expertise in automation and digitalization, including mathematical and data-based models, to ...

Australia's two largest iron ore miners and its biggest steelmaker have selected the Kwinana Industrial Area, south of Perth, as the location to develop Australia's largest ironmaking electric ...

This project entails constructing and operating an industrial-scale prototype plant for a new hydrogen-based ironmaking process at the voestalpine steelworks in Linz, Austria. Operations are ...
