Write: Melisenda [2011-05-20]

Hebei Iron and Steel Xuanhua Steel shut down two oldest blast furnaces (300 cubic meters each) on March 31, which could save 140,000 tons per year of standard coal and reduce the emissions of dust and smoke by nearly 100 tons. The two furnaces were put into services on December 31, 1959 and had produced more than eight million tons of pig iron to date.
