I looks like you have a mixed bag of kits there, quite a few of which represent the steel mill process, although I think behind the blast furnace you also may have a Trix kit of Zollverein mine.
I would hazard a guess and say the blast furnace and surrounding structures and associated coke plant is Joswood, as is the tall white cooling structure, the tall brown coke/quench tower in picture 2, and I think the two dark brick buildings to the left in the first picture.
Joswood make a lot of wonderful models for mines, steel production and general industrial plant and equipment, and their site can be found
here Another source of lasercut mines and the like is Mehubu Lasertech models -
http://mehbu-lasertechnik.de/The brick (coal loading facility) building on concrete stilts in picture three, is either Joswood or Trix from Zollverein Part 2
The Zollverein mine could be Trix kits - Zollverein Part 1 and 2 (now very expensive). Kits 66102 and 66112. These are great kits as they have both the iconic mine head and the various (brick and brick on concrete stilts) processing buildings such as the coal washer, and transfer facilities, as well as the loading facilities where the coal was loaded into hopper cars. As a small aside Zollverein is a Unesco World Heritage site and well worth a visit if you are in the area.
Trix also made a blast furnace (Trix 66165) and coke tower, basic oxygen furnace (Trix 66106) and (Trix 66166) Cowptertürme for blast furnace under the 'Vom Erz Zum Stahl' series see
here Some of the Trix kits were basically re branded Walthers kits. Trix also made a modern Coal Power Station kit kit number 66103 and some wonderful cooling towers ("Kuhlturme") kit number 66116, to power your industrial scene
Walthers under their Cornerstone series made a whole series of steel mill series kits although most are now out of production (but often available on Ebay and the like) including a giant Hullett ore unloader under the 'Ashland Iron & Steel' series, which include blast furnaces, coke towers, quench cars, blower house, electric furnaces and other key items. Product video
here Beware some of these kits are big.
As for models of mines Faller, Kibri and Vollmer have all made various mines and kits of loading facilities which can easily be kit bashed to produce what you need. IIRC Auhagen have made at least one mine kit, there are numerous US based kits on the Market (Walthers being one) and even Marklin released a mine (made by third party) kit under their brand name some years back. So you have a wide selection of kits you can mix and match to get that perfect industrial scene
One of the best mine kits IMHO was the Faller Coal Mine Grube Hildegard which was their Exclusive Model 1998 - model number 940 which had a mine and unloading facilities and a working conveyor. Again usually quite expensive but often available on Ebay, but I also like Kibri's recent offering (as it is a completely different design of mine) Kibri item 49846 - Zeche Herbede. Also very popular is Faller model 130945 of the Marienschacht Mine headgear.
There are also a number of specialist companies making various smaller items for industrial dioramas and I have listed some that I know in this Forum thread
https://www.marklin-users.net/forum/posts/t40841-List-of-Manufacturers-of-Landscaping-Items---Kits---Models---Materials---EtcAs well as the above kits you can always build your own, there are some amazing hand built items on the Stummi Forum with loads of pictures and ideas on this Facebook page for steel mills
Steel Mill Modeling including specials 3D printed items and actual plans of plants for sale so you can build your own. As a guide none of the blast furnace models contain a realistic blast furnace (much bigger in reality) so if you are inclined doing some kit bashing and building your own will result in a far more impressive diorama.
I hope this helps and if you do go ahead and add a similar scene I hope you will post some pictures in the Forum
