Pour ne pas dépendre outre mesure de la disponibilité en déchets métalliques et de la volatilité de leur prix, et pour minimiser l’émission d’impuretés due aux éléments à l’état de traces, les mini-aciéries procèdent de plus en plus souvent par réduction directe du minerai, donc sans coke.

Note from asker:
| But are you sure that both the English and the French (wiki) pages talk about the same thing? It could be "heav metals" as you said, I am not sure. But anyway thank you so much. So let's wait for some more answers |
