Description	It is a generally accepted fact that the blast furnace will continue to be the primary source of hot metal production serving the steel making industry for many years to come. More than 90% of iron is currently produced via the blast furnace process, while the rest comes from other processes. Additionally, the severe shortage of good-quality metallurgical coal has remained an additional constraint all over the world. In view of that, there is an increasing awareness that the blast furnace route needs to be supplemented with alternative iron making processes that are more environment friendly and less dependent on metallurgical coal.The processes that produce a molten product, similar to hot metal from blast furnace but without any dependency on coke, directly from iron ore are classified as smelting reduction processes. Smelting reduction is an alternative approach to iron making that uses coal to reduce iron ore (in the forms of lump ore), pellets, or fines to molten iron. The purpose of smelting reduction is to produce liquid hot metal. It requires little preparation of iron ore and uses coal, oxygen, and/or electrical energy. Details of processes and applications are discussed in this section. Book Name: Encyclopedia of Iron, Steel, and Their Alloys
