The production and development of the ironmaking process in China are crucial for energy saving, emission reduction and transformation and promotion processes of iron and steel industry. In order to fully understand the production and techniques of ironmaking blast furnace in China, the production and operation indexes of large blast furnaces were analysed in this paper. Then challenges of the ironmaking in China were discussed. On this basis, the future development of ironmaking in China was further analysed. The study will contribute to understanding the state of ironmaking process of China.
