en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 23, 2026, at the 2026 Greater Bay Area Low-Carbon Metallurgy and Advanced Metal Materials Technology Exchange Conference held in Guangdong, China, the new book "Hydrogen-Based Shaft Furnace—Electric Furnace Compact Process Metallurgy," authored by Wang Zhongbing, Dean of the Institute of Low-Carbon Metallurgical Engineering Innovation at Guangdong University of Technology, and Mao Lingbo, among others, and published by Metallurgical Industry Press, was officially launched. The book features a preface by Yin Ruiyu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Chen Derong, former Party Secretary and Chairman of China Baowu Steel Group; Chen Zhuowu, Deputy Party Secretary of Guangdong University of Technology; Zhang Tongyi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Mao Xinping, Zhu Rong, and Li Hongxia, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Wang Xinjiang, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Chinese Society for Metals; Wang Zhongbing, Dean of the Institute of Low-Carbon Metallurgical Engineering Innovation at Guangdong University of Technology; Mao Lingbo, Vice Dean; and Chen Zhuo, Party Secretary, President, and Editor-in-Chief of Metallurgical Industry Press, jointly took the stage to launch the new book. In his congratulatory letter, Academician Yin Ruiyu noted that "Hydrogen-Based Shaft Furnace—Electric Furnace Compact Process Metallurgy" systematically summarizes the frontier exploration and engineering practice of the hydrogen metallurgy short process. In his speech, Wang Xinjiang stated that the publication of this book is timely, as the hydrogen-based shaft furnace is one of the most promising technological pathways for achieving deep decarbonization in steel production, demonstrating "the responsibility and commitment of Chinese scientific and technological workers in actively exploring, systematically organizing, and sharing knowledge in the frontier field of low-carbon metallurgy." He also said, "I hope this book can be like a seed, inspiring more innovative ideas and catalyzing more technological breakthroughs."

Set against the backdrop of the global steel industry's low-carbon transformation, this book takes the hydrogen-based shaft furnace—electric furnace compact steel process as its research object, analyzing the multi-phase, nonlinear, non-equilibrium, and coupling characteristics of modern metallurgical processes from a synergetics perspective. The book reviews the current status and trends of hydrogen metallurgy technology both domestically and internationally, compares the characteristics of the traditional blast furnace-converter long process with the compact process, details major process technologies such as the hydrogen-based shaft furnace, electric furnace, continuous casting, and hot rolling, and analyzes key technical challenges including pellet adaptability, DRI hot-state transport, energy flow regulation, low-carbon electric furnace processes, and residual element control. The book proposes the "three-flow synergy" and order parameter control theory for process metallurgy, as well as the direction of determinism-driven intelligent non-deterministic control, elucidating the comparative advantages of the compact process in energy saving, carbon reduction, high efficiency, controllability, and resource intensification, providing guidance for the industry's low-carbon metallurgy technology research and development, process synergy, and metallurgical intelligence.
