Prior to dispatch of sinter to the blast furnace for hot metal production, the sinter product from the sinter cooler is screened to remove smaller/finer particles. The undersize so generated is called internal return fines, which are generally recirculated into the sintering machine. A very high level of internal return fines generation limits the use of virgin ore for sintering which may ...

At present, only imported iron ore fines are used in Jingtang sintering plant. And it is hard to control the particle size of imported iron ores. Different iron ore fines are mixed properly before charged to sintering machine. It is an important means to solve this problem to seek the particle size matching between solid fuel and iron ore fines.
11. 11 B. FIXING OF FEED RATE : For sending raw mix to sinter machine for sintering, fixation of feed rate of materials is done considering capacity of the sinter machine and quality requirement of blast furnace. Feed rate fixed is : Iron ore fines 250 T/hr. Flux 75 T/hr. ( Feeding of Flux depends on available lime in sinter required in blast lime means CaO SiO2 in sinter.)
To output more sinter in the field of fixed sintering machines, researchers have proposed highbed sintering with the following advantages: saving energy, reducing emission and strengthening sinter quality [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ].
In complex industrial processes such as sintering, key quality variables are difficult to measure online and it takes a long time to obtain quality variables through offline testing. Moreover, due to the limitations of testing frequency, quality variable data are too scarce. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a sintering quality prediction model based on multisource data fusion and ...
1 Introduction Agglomeration processes are necessary to utilize the iron ore fines (< 10 mm) that are generated due to mechanized mining of iron ore. Sintering is one of the most prevalent agglomeration processes due to its lower capital cost and operational flexibility.
The iron ore fines (− 10 mm) are agglomerated using Dwight Lloyed sintering machine. The iron ore fines and coke breeze fines mix with moisture is fed on the sinter bed which is ignited by a gas burner to initiate sintering process. The hot sintered ore is discharged at the end of the machine.
around the world to optimize the iron ore sintering production by increasing the thickness of materials layer. As a result materials layer thickness of sintering machines has also continued to increase, from 200300 mm at that time to more than 700 mm now. Due to the limitation of special iron ore resources and technical conditions, later ...
The iron ore pellet enters the shaft furnace from the top, through the stream M1 at ambient temperature. Impurities have an adverse impact on the reaction kinetics and should be limited to less than 5%. The iron ore pellets react with the hydrogen gas, which enters the shaft furnace from the bottom of the furnace at 1173 K, represented by M4.
The basic hightemperature properties of iron ore play a crucial role in optimizing sintering and ore blending, but the testing process for these properties is complex and has significant lag time, which cannot meet the actual needs of ore blending. A prediction model for the basic hightemperature properties of iron ore fines was thus proposed based on a combination of machine learning ...
At the sintering machine only about 50 kg of fossil fuel per ton of sinter are used. Thus, new technologies are welcome with the focus of neutralizing the carbon emissions. The iron ore sinter process is an important operation unit in the integrated steel plant.
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.
During the iron ore sintering process, its SiO2 content considerably affects the sinter quality. In this study, the effect of SiO2 content on iron ore sintering indexes was studied, with mineral composition and microstructure analyses. It was shown that the strength and reducibility of sintering products improved when SiO2 content increased.

Iron ore sintering is the iron ore powder agglomeration process that changes fine iron ore powder into the lumpy ironbearing raw material used for blast furnace ironmaking. Hightemperature process and addition of alkaline flux will improve metallurgical performance of ironbearing raw material.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 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 physical and chemical properties of the sinter are critical to the performance of the Blast Furnace. The cold strength of the sinter is measured as TI and hot strength as RDI.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 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.
Sintering is an agglomeration process used in the iron and steel making industry. In sinter machine, the fine iron ore particles are agglomerated to form porous coarse particles by combustion of fuel [1,2,3,4,5].After agglomeration process in sinter machine, the hot sinter is crushed by the rotating breaker and transferred to the chute for distributing over the moving annular cooler.
