Abstract

Development of non‐coke ironmaking process in China is presented. It is concluded that coal‐based rotary kiln is still the main process for direct reduced iron (DRI) production in the near future in China. The most important problems of DRI production in China are small production scale and heavy environment pollution. Now the gas‐based shaft furnace process has become one of the significant processes of DRI production in China. The market demand for DRI production in China is continuously increasing. Due to the tense supply of coking coal and its heavy environmental load, more steel plants in China will use smelting reduction (SR) technology.
