Coke breeze is the main heat source in sintering process. Its combustion yields enough amounts of heat which melts the sinter mix. One of the factors that significantly affect the course of coke breeze combustion is its grain size [1,2,3].It is known that finegrained coke reduces permeability of the sinter mix and the use of coke breeze with particle size below 1 mm is avoided on the ...
Meanwhile, an iron ore sinter is a crucial material for the ironmaking process, and its chemical, physical, and metallurgical properties significantly impact the blast furnace (BF) performance. In turn, the main materials used for a sinter are iron ore fines, and their chemical compositions play a critical role in the sintering process. Due to ...
The sintering process converts finesized raw materials, including iron ore, coke breeze, limestone, mill scale, and flue dust, into an agglomerated product, sinter, of suitable size for charging into the blast furnace.
The sinter plant turns iron ore into sinter, which is the optimal product for the blast furnace. Sinter is made by burning a mix of iron ore powder, fluxes and recycled substances from the steel plant to create an opengrained, consistent substance. The sinter is then crushed, cooled and screened for dust. Sometimes, iron ore is supplied in the form of iron ore pellets.
Iron ore sinter plants are energyintensive components of integrated iron and steel production (see Table 1), where the iron ore fines (<5 mm) are converted into larger (>5 mm) lump sinter cakes with greater gas permeability, which are the most important burden materials for iron making in blast furnaces (BFs) [7].The main process is shown in Fig. 2 and described in detail in previous studies ...
Limonite (brown iron ore) used as a raw material for sintering is inexpensive, but problems include the fact that this ore combines strongly with water and has a coarse particle size. These properties have a serious impact on productivity in the sintering process (Lu and Ishiyama 2016). By solving these problems, this device makes it possible ...
Material Selection for Sintering Process Raw materials like iron ore nes, limestone, dolomite, coke breeze, blast furnace return nes, sinter return nes, micro pellets, coke breeze, and calcined lime were used for the laboratory pot grate sintering studies. A total of 5 pot trials were planned to vary the pellet nes from 0 to 50% in the
The sintering process can be defined as a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slagforming agents, and solid fuel (coke) with the objective of obtaining a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical) to be fed to the blast furnace.

Iron ore sintering: Raw materials and granulation, where the concentration techniques used in the case of the iron minerals are described, as well as the current demand of iron ...
Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries. It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Almost all (98%) iron ore is used in steelmaking. Iron ore is mined in about 50 countries. The seven largest of these producing countries ...
When switching to sinter by using combined fuel, the blast furnace productivity increases by 1014%, and the specific fuel consumption in coke per unit of iron made decreases by 8%. Sinterediron ore has been the main raw material type for blast furnaces, with its share in ironmaking being 6070% [ 1 ]. This production will continue for a ...
Blast furnace ironmaking has the advantages of a good economic index, simple process, large output, and high production efficiency, which represents the major hot metalmaking process in the world [1,2].With the largescale development of modern blast furnaces, iron ore resources are becoming increasingly scarce, which makes the raw material structure of sintering plants fluctuate greatly, and ...

Iron ore sintering is a material preparation process employed worldwide in the production of iron and steel. According to statistical data on pollution, sintering plants rank second in terms of toxic emissions, after the incineration of municipal solid ...
Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slagforming agents, and solid fuel (coke). The purpose of the sintering process is manufacturing a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical and chemical) to be fed to the blast furnace.
Iron ore sintering is a simple and sustainable way to treat zincbearing secondary resources. In this paper, the reaction behavior of zinc was studied by combining thermodynamic calculation and simulation tests under sintering temperature and atmosphere. The evolution law of Zncontaining phases during the heating process was also revealed. The results showed that Zncontaining substances were ...
Thus, recycling it through the sintering process helps in the saving of raw materials like iron ore and limestone. This paper presents preliminary findings of a study that investigates the potential for recycling steel mill scale in the sintering process. Experiments were conducted using the mill scale in sinter making from 0 to 70 kg/t of sinter.
