Small blast furnace
|
This small blast furnace we´ve found in the area near Jincheng (Shaanxi Province). 99% of these ironworks were abandoned. We saw only one small blast furnace working (maybe illegal). Local people told us that they have to stop working two years ago, when new savetyrules for the workers came out and volume and quality of the produced steel was controled by the goverment. No chance for this small iron works.
The picture was taken in april 2007
