This book provides a detailed introduction to the latest research results on hydrogen-rich reduction ironmaking technology using coke oven gas injected into the blast furnace, preparation of composite iron coke and carbon-containing composite burden, low-carbon smelting technology of the blast furnace, short process of direct reduction in a gas-based shaft furnace, and its application to efficient and clean smelting technology of high-chromium vanadium titanium magnetite, stainless steel dust, boron mud, aluminum red mud, and other typical metallurgical secondary resources. This book also covers efficient and high-value utilization technology.

This book serves as a reference for R&D and application of low-carbon blast furnace ironmaking and efficient and clean utilization of metallurgical resources, actively promoting the low-carbon and green development of the ironmaking industry.

In addition to its research value, this book can also be used as a teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in metallurgical engineering, resource cycle science and engineering, thermal energy engineering, and other related majors in universities and colleges. It is also useful for scientific and technological personnel and management personnel engaged in ironmaking and comprehensive utilization of metallurgical resources in metallurgical enterprises, scientific research, and design institutions.
