The Smelter is a new and groundbreaking ironmaking technology that has recently generated tremendous interest. Designed to process DRI made from low-grade iron ore, the Smelter can handle larger proportions of slag with much greater ease than an electric arc furnace. In this session of Pioneers Talk, Andreas Pfeiffer shares some of his insights into the Smelter, many of which originate from cutting-edge university research.
