Direct Iron Ore Smelting Process for Ironmaking – IspatGuru
Mar 28, 2017· Direct iron ore smelting (DIOS) process is a smelting reduction process for the production of hot metal (liquid iron). It is a twostage process which has been developed in Japan. It uses noncoking coal in a powder or granular form to smelt iron ore fines into liquid iron (hot metal) and hence, there is no necessity of a coke ovens plant and a sintering plant.
