Abstract. In iron making process, sintering of iron ore fines is an integral step to utilize not only the ore fines but also to introduce a part of flux (limestone and dolomite) along with the sinter in blast furnace burden. In this way, the productivity of the furnace considerably improves. In this paper, some fundamental aspects such as the ...
For the dusts which contain relatively high contents of iron, carbon, and calcium and low contents of impurities, they can be used directly as raw materials to partially replace iron ore, fuel, and/or flux to produce sinter by a traditional process, named iron ore sintering, for blast furnace (BF) ironmaking [9, 10]. At present, in China ...

One of the several wastes that are produced at an iron and steel plant is the undersized pellet nes, which cannot be directly used in iron making. The present study evaluated the inuence of these pellet nes on the sintering process. 5 experiments were conducted, by varying the pellet nes from 0 to 50% in the iron ore blend.
A blast furnace (BF) is the dominant process for making iron in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron burden materials including iron ore pellets, sinter, and lump ore. While descending in the BF the charge materials reduce. The iron‐bearing materials should reduce fast and remain in the solid form until as high a …

Like other sintering processes, iron ore sintering converts iron ore fines of often − 8 mm sizing into larger agglomerates, namely, sinter, between 5 and 50 mm particle size, which possess the physical and metallurgical characteristics and gas permeability required for efficient blast furnace operation.As shown in Figure 14.1, iron ore sintering …
It may be generated from the beneficiation of lean grade ore as concentrate. Sintering has limitations of using microfines beyond certain level (30–40 %). Therefore, in order to increase the utilization of microfines or lean ore concentrate replacing good quality lump ore, use of pellet in blast furnaces has to be increased considerably.

The iron ore fines with less than 10 mm size are usually fed to the sintering process, and only limited fraction (less than 20%) of − 150 micron size of iron ore fines are allowed in the sintering process. The finer sized iron ore may choke the sinter bed and hinder the uniform air suction through the bed.
