    Abstract:

    Brazil is the largest producer of charcoal pig iron in the world, also called "green pig iron ". With an installed capacity of approximately 15 millions tons/year, two major types of Brazilian companies, the "integrated steelmakers" and the "independent ironmaking producers", perform efficiently the iron ore reduction in charcoal blast furnaces, with capacities ranging from 25000 to 300000 ton/year of hot metal. The first Brazilian charcoal blast furnace was installed in 1888 and the integrated steelmaking charcoal plant (Belgo Mineira Company), in 1937. Considering the last ten years, the share for the average production of 10 millions tons/year was 15% for the former and 85% for the independent producers. This work intends to present the Brazilian scenario regarding the pig iron production during the last years, and also to describe some characteristics of the charcoal blast furnace technology.Additionally, considerations will be made concerning two case studies regarding the mini blast furnace.
