Sustainable steel through hydrogen plasma reduction of iron ore ...
WEBAlso, hydrogen plasmabased reduction allows the production of liquid iron in one single step, in which the input fine ores are melted and reduced simultane ously without the need for intermediate agglomeration or refine ment processing, as the melting point of iron oxide (1565 °C) only slightly exceeds that of iron (1538 °C) [ 31, 32 ].
