Excerpt from Economic Aspects of Direct Reduction of Iron Ore in Illinois
Direct reduction of iron ore by one or more processes un der study by steel companies will not displace the blast furnace but should supplement or complement ore reduction by blast fur naces. Direct - reduction plants will be developed in locations where small-scale local production is desired but coking coal is not available, or where costs are high.
Direct reduction of iron ore may be used to increase the capacity of either old or new plants to produce material that can be substituted for scrap iron in the charge to the open hearth fur nace or to enrich a normal blast furnace charge. It may be used near a market and where ore and coal can be assembled cheaply, conditions that are especially favorable along the waterways in Illinois.
