Sintering or frittage is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by pressure [1] or heat [2] without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Sintering happens as part of a manufacturing process used with metals, ceramics, plastics, and other materials. The nanoparticles in the sintered material diffuse across the ...
In iron making process, sintering of iron ore fines is an integral step to utilize not only the ore fines but also to introduce a part of flux (limestone and dolomite) along with the sinter in blast furnace burden. In this way, the productivity of the furnace considerably improves.
Sintering is the most economic and widely used agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use. In this chapter, the sintering process is first described and the key steps of the sintering process, namely, granulation and thermal densification, are identified.
Iron ore sintering is an agglomeration process of iron ore fines, fluxes, fossil fuel (coke and coal), and some ironbearing waste materials in the ironmaking and steelmaking industry . Sinter is one of the main raw materials used in a blast furnace (BF) accounting for more than 70% ferrous burden of BF in China [ 2 ].
During sintering, ZnO can react with Fe 2 O 3 to form ZnFe 2 O 4 and then dissolve in magnetite. [ 26, 27] However, few studies have been focused on the Zn distribution pattern in iron ore sinter and the influence of Zn on the mineral phase composition. In metallurgical dust, Zn is mainly present in the forms of ZnO and ZnFe 2 O 4.

Iron ore sintering consists of heating a layer of fines until partial melting occurs and individual ore particles fuse together. For this purpose, a travelinggrate machine is used, and the burning of fine coke (known as coke breeze) within the ore generates the necessary heat. Before being delivered to the sinter machine, the ore mixture is ...
The iron ore sintering process is the second largest energy consuming process next to the blast furnace in overall integrated steel plant value chain. Sintering consists of two moving beds, namely a sintering machine, and an annular cooler. Once the sintering is completed, hot sinter is discharged on the annular cooler and air is blown from the bottom with blowers for cooling the sinter to ...
Most of the industrial CO is produced by steelmaking. For example, the iron ore sintering process in steelmaking emits CO in a concentration exceeding 4000 mg/Nm 3 in the flue gas [1]. This amount ...

Coke breeze and anthracite are the traditional heat suppliers to iron and steel industry while global warming issue has been a focus of concern. Using biomass for partial or complete replacement of coke breeze in the iron ore sintering process is an attractive technique for reducing emissions of greenhouse gas and gaseous pollutants. However, short supply of charred wood and low sinter quality ...
Iron ore sintering is one of the key steps in the ironmaking process, where granulated pellets are transformed into sinter in the sintering machine, providing an ideal raw material for ironmaking blast furnace. Drum granulation in the sintering process plays an essential role in determining the final sintering performance.
Sinter plants agglomerate iron ore fines (dust) with other fine materials at high temperature, to create a product that can be used in a blast final product, a sinter, is a small, irregular nodule of iron mixed with small amounts of other minerals. The process, called sintering, causes the constituent materials to fuse to make a single porous mass with little change in the chemical ...
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.
As a key thermalstate indicator of the iron ore sintering process, the content of ferrous oxide (FeO) in the finished sinter is directly related to product quality. Based on the massive data of ...
Lowtemperature (< 1300 °C) iron ore sinter is an agglomerate of unmelted and partially melted nuclei particles (+ 1 mm) and a matrix bonding phase produced from the melting of fine ore (− 1 mm) and flux particles, with the majority of melt formation occurring in the granule adhering fines layer.
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).
Iron ore sintering process is the main CO 2 emission source throughout the integrate steelworks, which primarily comes from the combustion of solid fuels. Improving the combustion efficiency and reducing the solid fuel consumption are important ways to reduce the CO 2 emission in the sintering process. Around the efficient combustion of fuel, the migration behavior and combustion ...

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 ...
