Funded Activity Summary

Step Change Technologies in Ironmaking - Slag Compositions for Use in the New Low Energy Blast Furnace Practice. The world's current iron and steelmaking production capacity is over 200 million tonnes annually; this is set to rapidly rise with the increasing production in China and in India. Australia is a major exporter and supplier of iron ores and coal and coke to the South East Asian region. It is in Australia's National interest to encourage improvements in these technologies not only to increase export income but also to contribute to improved environmental performance. The proposed project will assist in the development of a modified iron blast furnace, and in so doing substantially reduce the energy consumption and CO2 emissions from the process.
