With iron ore reduction processes using coal-ore pellets or mixtures, it is possible that volatiles can contribute to reduction. By simulating the constituents of the individual reducing species in the volatiles, the rates for H2 and CO were investigated in the temperature and reduction range of interest; hydrogen is the major reductant and was studied in detail.

Solid reduction process does not melt the iron oxide, and partially reduce it to FeO. On the other hand, smelting reduction process melts down and reduces almost all the metal oxides in the dust. Solid reduction process includes rotary kiln, rotary hearth furnace, and multi-stage hearth furnace. Smelting reduction processes are, for example,
