    The correct answer is False.

    Explanation:

    The manufacture of iron and steel involves a series of complex processes, whereby iron ore is extracted to produce steel products, using coke and limestone. The conversion processes follow the following steps:

    (a) coal coke production, and by-product recovery,

    (b) mineral preparation (eg, synthesize and form pellets),

    (c) iron production,

    (d) steel production, and

    (e) casting, laminating and finishing.

    You can perform these steps in a single installation, or in several completely separate locations. In many developing countries, scrap steel is manufactured in an electric arc furnace. Therefore, steps (a) through (c) may not always be applicable to all steelmaking projects. An alternative way to produce steel is that of direct reduction, using natural gas and hydrogen. The product of this process, spongy iron, becomes a steel arc furnace; then the ingots melt, and for this the non-flat products are produced with one or two laminators. They are called "mini factories".
