In the introductory chapter of this book, we have indicated the history of evolution of Integrated Iron and Steelmaking and in what steps these complexities developed. We have presented the various operating steps and arranged the chapters likewise, roughly following the flow of materials, indicating the technologies involved in these steps. We have emphasized the importance of maintenance, automation and the impact on environment due to the process steps and the ways to minimize it. Towards the end, we have tried to crystal-gaze and have tried to describe what a steel plant of twenty second century would look like.
