Study the chemical reactions and thermodynamics related to the production of steel and how they impact the environment. Explore the production of iron in the blast furnace, the key processes of iron making from the raw materials (iron ore pellet, sinter, coke and flux) through to the final product (hot metal and slag) and the advantages and limitations of the blast furnace iron making process and the new iron making process development. Examine the BOF and EAF routes of steelmaking along with secondary refining and continuous casting to understand the advantages and critical parameters of each process.
