In the HYBRIT process the raw material is iron ore, in the form of iron ore pellets. The ore, which is mined in LKAB&#8217;s mines for further processing in SSAB&#8217;s steelwork, is enriched and sintered into iron ore pellets. Today, the sintering is done with fossil fuels but, in the framework for the HYBRIT initiative, biofuels have been used in LKAB&#8217;s ore processing plant instead.<\/p>\n<p>The iron ore pellets are currently shipped to SSAB&#8217;s plants, in Lule\u00e5, Oxel\u00f6sund in Sweden and Brahestad in Finland, for further processing. The iron ore is an oxide in which the iron is combined with oxygen and, to produce steel, the oxygen must be removed from the ore. Today, the oxygen is removed (reduced) from the iron ore using carbon and coke in SSAB&#8217;s blast furnaces. The raw iron that is tapped from the blast furnace is liquid and moves on in that form through the steel manufacturing process until, as raw steel, it is poured out as slabs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steel can be manufactured by recycling or by using iron ore as raw material.
