The weight of the load is one of the main parameters in reductive melting process in electrical furnace which depends on the roasting of ores in a furnace located in Drenas. Roasting of the load is done at ∼950°C, which is composed of ores from Drenas and Albania. Also, the article has the experimental analyses that modify some parameters of the production which are the reduction in quantity of limestone in the load and the increase in quantity of quartz used in the load. The paper emphasises the possibility of mixing the ore from Kosovo with the lateritic ore from Albania with the aim of reducing the acidity of weight which is loaded in the electrical furnace. The optimisation of the above mentioned parameters enhances the production process and provides better practical results. The composition of the load must satisfy the ratio 1:10 of ore from Kosovo and Albania to optimise the melting process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
