Fig 1 Flowsheet of sintering process. The iron ore fines are natural ore of size 0 mm to 10 mm. The raw mix (also called sinter mix) is made with the weighed amount of iron ore fines, limestone, dolomite, sand or quartzite fines (flux), solid fuel (coke breeze or anthracite) and metallurgical wastes (collected dusts, sludge and mill scale etc).
At some sinter plants, adsorbent is injected prior to the ESP to reduce the PCDD/F emissions by an entrained flow adsorption process. Usually, lignite coke or activated carbon is used as adsorbent. To minimize the risk of glow fires in the ESP, the carbon content of the captured dusts typically has to be limited to <20 %.
ensuring a suitable sinter bed permeability and thus improving the productivity of the sinter plant. † Fernández-González et al. (2017b): Iron ore sintering: Process, where the ori-gins of the current sintering process are presented with the patent from 1909 of A. S. Dwight and R. L. Lloyd that consisted in a moving-bed offine ore particles
And this process will take about two hours. Moreover, sinter yield and quality can be acquired by testing, which is usually taken out every 2 hours and last for about 1~2 hours in Chinese sintering plants. Therefore, operating states of batching, mix and feeding before sintering can be reflected by sinter yield and quality after 3~5 hours.
