There are many chemical processes that are necessary on the way from the time the ore enters the works and the high-tech steel is finally produced. The conversion of coal to coke is only the beginning. The volatile constituents of the coal are released from the coking chambers, intercepted and purified. They are then implemented as valuable fuel gas in the integrated metallurgical facility. The coke, with a degree of purity of roughly 97%, is used to reduce iron ore. This base product provides a broad spectrum of further processing possibilities and thus forms an important foundation for the manufacturing of high-quality steel products in the voestalpine Group.
