Modern sintering process consists of three stages: sintering raw material preparation, sintering, and sinter processing (Fig. 1). Sintering raw material preparation stage consists of the steps such as uniform mixing of raw material in storage, and processing, batching, mixing, granulation, and distribution of flux and fuel.
Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slag-forming 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.
A critical comparative analysis of technologies for preparation of ore and technogenic materials before metallurgical processing was conducted in this research. Briquetting, sintering, pelletizing and direct use of fines (processing without agglomeration) were conditionally emphasized among these technologies. The roller …
3.1 Impact of Biopellet on Sintering Temperature Profiles. Figure 3 shows the temperature profile observed during iron ore sintering process at different proportions of biopellet. With an increase in biopellet the maximum temperature within the sinter bed reduces. In the presence of biomass, the water content required to granulate the sinter …
For the pelletizing of iron ore there are two main types of processes namely, the straight travelling grate (STG) process and the grate kiln (GK) process. In the STG process, a stationary bed of pellets is transported on an endless travelling grate through the drying, oxidation, sintering and cooling zones.
The iron and steel manufacturing sector directly accounts for 7–9% of global CO2 emissions. Raw material preparation, such as iron ore sintering, pelletizing, and cock making, is the major CO2 ...
1. Introduction. Iron ore pellets are one of the significant sources of iron for iron and steel making due to their superior metallurgical performance, low energy consumption, and less emission of environmentally harmful dust and gases during the production process [1], [2], [3].The two primary raw materials for pellet production are …
Sintering is an agglomeration process that fuses iron ore fines, fluxes, recycled products, slag-forming elements and coke. The purpose of sintering is to obtain a product with suitable ...

The degrading iron ore quality and environmental norms has forced sinter producers to look for additives which can improve the sintering process efficiency. For the current work, use of calcined colemanite as an additive was studied by adding it from 0% to 4% within the sinter raw blend through lab-scale pot trials.

In this paper, low-grade limonitic nickel laterite and chromite were synergistically utilized via the hybrid sintering process (i.e., pellet-sintering process) for high-quality Ni–Cr sinter preparation and great carbon emission reduction. Under the optimum process conditions, Ni–Cr sinter indices were substantially improved in the …
Although iron ore concentrates are generally higher in iron grade and contain lower impurities, the finer size distribution of concentrates limits their usage in iron ore sintering. Therefore, pelletizing is needed to produce fired pellets from concentrates as burden materials for blast furnaces and direct reduction processes.
The sintering process begins with the preparation of a sinter mixture consisting of iron ore fines, fluxes, solid fuel (called bonding agents in Japan) such as coke breeze, and return fines from the sinter plant and blast furnace as well as recycled ferruginous materials from downstream iron and steelmaking processes.
An efficient sintering process was proposed based on the autocatalytic denitrification of the sintered ore. The catalytic denitrification of sintered ore, the effect of double-layer ignition sintering process on the emission reduction in nitrogen oxides, and the impact on the quality of sintered ore were studied.
