Corex®Corex®, new process developed by the VOEST-Alpine AG (VOEST, Vereinigte Österreichische Eisen- und Stahlwerke AG) for low-cost environmentally sensitive production of crude iron directly from carbon and iron ore. In this process a fusion carburettor is used instead of a conventional blast furnace, the iron ore is processed in a reduction shaft and carbonising and sintering plants have become superfluous. The first C. plant was opened in Pretoria (South Africa) in 1989.
