Where the point is generally agreed, there is no need to post
references. But where there is debate then posters need to
substantiate their claims.

Thanks. This is a well written paper, might have been peer reviewed.
It points out that there are potentially major advantages to using
carbon tha hydrogen for reduction of ilmenite. However there are some
unknowns regarding the feasibility of carbon reduction and it identifies
three areas where more research is needed before design decisions can be
made.

Sure, if you feel they are important.
