worldsteel expects that global end-of-life scrap availability will reach about 600 Mt in 2030 and 900 Mt in 2050, a growth of more than 500 Mt in one of our main steelmaking raw materials in the next 30 years. The steelmaking process is able to remove most impurities that may be present in scrap steel. Hence 'downcycling' of steel scrap ...

U.S. iron ore production was estimated to have increased in 2018 owing to increased steel-mill-capacity utilization and higher steel demand. Raw steel production increased to 86.6 million tons in 2018 from 81.6 million tons in 2017. But before all that iron ore can be turned into steel, it must go through the sintering process. Sinter is the ...

India's steel production is estimated to grow 4-7% to 123-127 MT in FY24. The growth in the Indian steel sector has been driven by the domestic availability of raw materials such as iron ore and cost-effective labour. Consequently, the steel sector has been a major contributor to India's manufacturing output.

The production of high-quality sinter is crucial for assuring consistent, stable furnace productivity with a low consumption of reductants. Sinter quality begins with the mined iron ore and the proper selection and mixing of the raw materials. Inhomogeneous raw mix can affect permeability and cause an increase in fuel consumption.

Iron and Steel Production. Iron production requires iron ore, coal and stone ( limestone, dolomite). Steel production requires iron, steel scrap and flux ("lime" — calcined limestone). The iron ore is smelted to produce an impure metal called "hot metal" when liquid, or "pig iron" when solid. The hot metal is refined to remove impurities and ...
