立即联系/Live ChatMay 20 32 The Basic Mechanics The smelting or reduction of iron ore is a thermochemical reaction wherein the iron oxides are reduced to metallic iron Impurities in the ore are melted out of the ore in the form of slags most commonly iron silicates while the iron itself is never truly moltenDec 12 32 The biggest advantage of the process to iron makers is the fact that it produces hot metal without the need for coke ovens and sinter plants The direct use of low value grades of iron ore fines without pre treatment increases the flexibility of raw material supply for steel producers ensuring greater competitiveness
