Solution

Instructions:
  • Explain any three requirements
Solution:
  • Some of the notable requirements of the iron and steel industry are:
    • Supply of iron-ore: It is the main raw material and is bulky, so iron and steel industries are generally situated close to it.
    • Availability of good quality coal: For the smelting of iron-ore in the furnaces, good quality coal is required in large quantities.
    • Regular water supply: Water should be present in large quantities near the iron and steel plant as a huge amount of water is required to wash and cool hot iron.
