202033· Hence, the smelting reduction processes deserve special attention since they use non-coking coal for the production of hot metal. However, it is pertinent to mention that only a few of the SR processes have reached commercial scale. Reduction of iron ore into metallic iron is the first step in the production process of steel.

Primary iron production is dominated by integrated steel mills, which use a blast furnace to convert coke and iron ore into pig iron; the pig iron is then purified in a basic oxygen furnace (BOF) to make steel. In recent years, integrated producers have typically accounted for 35-40% of total domestic steel production.

In general all factors that support mechanization and economy of scale (uniformity of deposit, width of ore bodies, depth, overburden) tend to counter ASM. However, unfavorable conditions for medium- or large-scale mining (irregular ore bodies, steep dipping seams) create a niche for economically viable small-scale mining.
