Opis

The book describes the main approaches to produce and synthesize iron and steel through hydrogen-based technologies. Depending on the processing route and on the energy demand, the best available techniques and the most forward-looking solutions are explained. The book is edited with the contribution representing a range of industries in order to evaluate the industrial feasibility of each selected technology. It presents the most efficient solutions applied by ironmaking and steelmaking factories all around the world.

• Describes a potential low carbon and economically attractive route for steelmaking particularly for countries where natural gas is inexpensive;
• Shines a light on the necessity for evolution in iron and steel industries through hydrogen technology because of energy demand and environmental issues;
• Explores research findings on the use of hydrogen for its reducing properties in ferrous metallurgy to directly gain metals from ores.
