Based on the particle size, iron ores are classified as iron ore fines (<10 mm) or iron ore lump (6.3–31.5 mm); iron ore fines are first processed in a sinter plant, while lump ores can be charged into the blast furnace (BF) directly. Iron ore lump is the lowest cost iron bearing material for the BF burden.
Global iron ore production has grown dramatically in recent years to meet increasing world steel demand, especially in Asia. High grade lump ore resources are being depleted and a greater amount ...
ABSTRACT. Sinter plants process a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, slag-forming agents and solid fuel (coke) with the finality of obtaining a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical) for being fed to the blast furnace.
Exhaust gases from iron ore sintering plants must be desulphurized since sulphur dioxide is a significant contributor to acid rain. The flue gas circulation sintering (FGCS) procedure was used to increase the SO 2 concentration of the off-gas produced during the sintering of iron ore in order to lower the SO 2 emissions.
Iron ore sinter plants are energy-intensive components of integrated iron and steel production (see Table 1), where the iron ore fines (<5 mm) are converted into larger (>5 mm) lump sinter cakes with greater gas permeability, which are the most important burden materials for iron making in blast furnaces (BFs) [7].The main process is shown in Fig. 2 and described in …
The coated iron ore either with serpentine or fine ore is expected to alter the assimilation reaction of the ore particles during sintering and thereby improve sinter plant productivity. To overcome the above mentioned challenge a new process is proposed, where the porous iron ore will be pre-processed with calcined lime before dry mixing.
Iron ore sintering is a complicated thermo-chemical process which involves a vast amount of chemical reactions and physical changes. Feed materials which contain ores, coke, flux, gangue, returned mines, and etc. are granulated and charged into the sintering machine. ... and the sinter is produced as the main burden for blast furnaces in most ...
The steps involved in the iron ore sintering process is shown in Fig. 1.Various raw materials used in sintering viz. iron ore fines, fluxes, solid fuel and steel plant reverts are blended in a specific proportion as per the desired chemical composition of sinter and stockpiled in an open yard.
Studies performed on iron ore sintering plants have indicated that PCDD/Fs are formed through a de novo synthesis, taking place in the sinter bed in regions where the temperature is 250–450 °C. The de novo synthesis hypothesizes formation of PCDD/F from chemically unrelated compounds such as polyvinylchloride (PVC) and other ...
In a sinter plant, iron ore and fluxes are agglomerated as a suitable feedstock for the blast furnace. Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the sintering process. The sintering process is energy intensive and produces a considerable amount of CO 2 from the combustion and calcination of coke breeze and carbonates, respectively.
The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and low-grade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking. This chapter …

The emissions of dioxins to the environmental air from iron ore sintering plants become to be regulated by the new Japanese law against dioxins. The emissions from Japanese sintering plants have been already fairly low levels by large efforts made so far for their reduction. However, substantial and systematic coun-
A sinter plant is used to agglomerate iron ore to produce sinter, a product that can be used in a blast furnace.[1] According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the sintering process converts fine-sized 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 ...
