Ferroalloys are alloys of iron with some element other than carbon; the ferroalloy “carries” that element into molten metal—e.g., Ferroalloys are usually produced by the reduction of a metallic ore (usually an oxide) by carbon. Any CO emitted to the atmosphere is assumed to be converted to CO 2 within days afterwards.
