The sintering process not only improves the quality of steel products, but also releases CO and CO 2 gases, evaporates moisture, and improves the reducibility of iron ore to ensure smooth operation of the blast furnace. These factors are related with variables such as temperature and flux, so optimization is essential.
The model parameters were calibrated for current runofmine ore and then in the simulation applied directly to the other ore. For the second ore, the simulation results vary between the different levels. This is because, at the bulk level, the model assumes minerals do not change their behaviour if ore texture or grinding fineness are changed.
