Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most of the industry is still occupied by the lengthy iron and steel metallurgical process, of which ironmaking is the primary component. The focus of developing ironmaking technology has shifted to low-carbon and green development models due to the quick development of typical low-carbon ironmaking technologies, including oxygen blast furnaces and hydrogen shaft furnaces. It is necessary to discuss innovative ironmaking technologies; as such, this Special Issue of “Advanced Metal Smelting Technology and Prospects, 2nd Edition” aims to further promote the development of the ironmaking industry, targeting the industry's requirements for high-quality ironmaking technology, green and low-carbon development, quantitative control, and resource-intensive diversification. Papers on low-carbon ironmaking, intelligent detection, big data and mechanism fusion modeling, solid–gas–liquid simulation models, process optimization, and other associated technologies will form the main focus of this Special Issue.
