During the processing of steel in steel mills, iron oxides will form on the surface of the metal. These oxides, known as mill scale, occur during continuous casting, reheating and hot rolling operations. Mill scale is a valuable metallurgical raw material since it contains 65–70% iron. JSW Steel Ltd is a 7 Mtpa integrated steel plant and generates 270 t of mill scale per day.

In the iron ore sintering, raw materials are agglomerated to make sinter, which improves the permeability in the blast furnace operation. [] During the sintering, 3 to 4 wt pct of coal added as fuel emits NO and SO 2. [] The sintering process accounts for 50 and 70 pct of the total amount of NO and SO 2 generated in the entire steel works, respectively. [3,4] NO and …
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).
In order to make better use of manganese fines as well as to save energy and cost in the industry, the sintering process of manganese ore is particularly important. In current study, three different Mn ores are selected to study the effect of ore proportion and basicity on the properties of sinters. ... Both small scale and pilot scale ...
The target basicity of iron ore sinter is set by blast furnace slag composition requirements, and therefore varies with the proportion of acid burden such as lump iron ore and pellets. Increasing the lump proportion of the burden will increase the target sinter basicity. The mineralogy of sinter produced with a range of basicity between 1.0 and 3.0 was analysed …
Moreover, the conventional iron making unit, i.e. blast furnace requires the raw material in the form of iron oxide with a size range of 10–120 mm. Sintering is the oldest agglomerate thermal process using iron ore mineral fines of 0.5–8 mm, along with the reductant, fluxes, and other byproducts of the iron and steel industry operated ...
