It was petroleum scientists who first learned how to extract hydrogen cheaply from natural gas or petroleum, and also how to use gas pressures from below to smelt ore. This "fluidized bed" method of ore-handling is used by all direct-reduction processes except the R-N method. ¶Hydrocarbon Research. Inc. and Bethlehem Steel have developed and extensively tested their "H-Iron" process. This process has the unique distinction of being the only one on which detailed cost figures...
