Development of technology extracts iron agglomerate from poor iron ores, indicating new raw material sources for steel production.
Considering that although steel can be recycled, current recycling methods do not achieve 100% efficiency, and certain steel products may not be suitable for recycling due to their characteristics or contamination. In this regard, steel recovery from iron ore remains critical to meet the demand for new steel products. Modern steelmaking technologies such as integrated routes (blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace) and electric arc furnaces have shown significant improvement in terms of reducing energy consumption and waste generation. However, the problem of meeting the raw material needs at the level of Uzbekistan still needs to be addressed, which opens up prospects for the development of alternative sources of raw materials.
