On the basis of MIP development several process concepts for primary ironmaking technology were investigated. In the smelting reduction process described the reduction of iron ore occurs in three stages: in the first step the ore is preheated and prereduced in a cyclon‐heat exchanger system. In the second step it is melted. The final reduction of the partially reduced and melted ore to metallic iron takes place in the MIP reactor.
