Tata Steel is expected to remove the last usable liquid iron from blast furnace 4 on Monday afternoon .

The closure of the heavy end at the UK 's largest steelworks is part of a restructure that will cut 2,800 jobs.

Future steelmaking in Port Talbot will rely on imports until an electric furnace melts scrap steel.

Tata Steel UK has consistently said its blast furnace operations were losing 1 m a day.
