The direct steelmaking program is proceeding essentially on schedule. The physical chemistry research programs at Carnegie Mellon University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, concerned with ore-slag, ore-melt, and melt-slag reactions, are proceeding on schedule and are generating information on reaction rates, gas evolution rates, and mass-transfer and heat-transfer rates that will help in understanding and modeling the smelting process. Laboratory modeling of the refining process assisted in the design of a pilot-scale continuous refiner. Several runs of the continuous refiner from late October to early December yielded data that are currently being analyzed. 19 figs.
