into South Africa), which is used to produce coke, needed both as the chemical reductant and as the source of energy in the process. An alternate steelmaking technology also used in South Africa is the electric arc furnace (EAF) route. Although this process uses small quantities of iron ore,
•Arcelor Mittal South Africa uses lump (25 +8 mm) iron ore in their blast furnaces and fine iron ore (8 + mm) undergoes agglomeration in sinter plants before feeding to the blast furnaces. • The blast furnaces produce pig iron which is then converted to steel in basic oxygen furnaces (BOF).
ArcelorMittal South Africa Vanderbijlpark Works 2. Processes Brief description of processes Iron Making The Iron Making Department consists of a raw material handling area, sinter plant and two blast furnaces. Raw materials such as iron ore, sinter coke and dolomite are charged into the blast furnaces where it is converted to liquid iron.
MAIN DIFFERENCES FROM THE BLAST FURNACE ROUTE The main differences between Corex and a conventional blast furnace route are: • Noncoking coal can be used directly as a reducing agent and energy source • Up to 80% of the iron oxide fraction can be lump ore; no sintering is required • Pure oxygen instead of nitrogenrich hot blast

Other more technically specialised products,for the transport and energy sectors for example, are currently made in the blast furnace route, using predominantly iron ore (although some scrap is also used). For ArcelorMittal, as a global steel producer with the option of using either route, the balance between blast furnace and electric arc furnace production and so between iron ore and scrap use is .
