Abstract Iron ores are principal input materials for iron and steelmaking industries. Quality of iron ores is one of the critical parameters for formation of environmental pollutants related to the steelmaking process. Dioxins are identified as one of the most toxic pollutants emitted during ironmaking, specifically during the sintering process.

The principal mechanism of iron ore granulation can be described as the layering of adhering fine particles onto the coarse nuclei particles under the action of water, as shown in Fig., this mechanism is commonly known as "autolayering" [5, 6].A typical iron ore granule is generally comprised of an inner seed coarse particle, which acts as the nucleus of the granule, and an ...
Iron ore sintering is a pretreatment step of smelting that agglomerates the iron ore using surface melting of green pellets to improve the quality of the steel product. The sintering process not only improves the quality of steel products, but also releases CO and CO2 gases, evaporates moisture, and improves the reducibility of iron ore to ensure smooth operation of the blast furnace. These ...

During sintering, water plays a key role, as a binder to granulate the iron ore mix. It permeates through ore particles under the influence of capillary force and reaches the surface and then migrates further into ore particles [ 6 ].

Iron ores and fluxes (dolomite, limestone, and quicklime) were mixed to a feed, which then was used to produce sinter with SiO 2 %, basicity (CaO/SiO 2) and MgO %, the proportions of each material were shown in Table principle of ore matching for adhesion layer was ...
The total reaction involved in the process of sintering is the sum of a number of reactions which involve reactions in heating zone, reactions in sintering zone and reactions in cooling zone.

Sintering is the most extensively used and economic agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use. Granulation is the most critical factor controlling iron ore sintering process, as it improves sinter mix permeability. Currently, sinter plants are receiving significant proportion (up to 40%) of − 150 μm microfines in iron ore fines, which makes sintering difficult ...
Summary. In this chapter, we learned that three main ferrous burden materials are used in BF operation; lump ore, sinter, and pellets. The types of iron ores used to produce these three ferrous charge materials and the related production methods were described. The various analysis methods used to determine the quality of the BF charge ...
Sintering is a thermal process of converting loose fine particles into a solid coherent mass by heat and/or pressure without fully melting the particles to the point of melting.
The sintering process can be defined as a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slagforming agents, and solid fuel (coke) with the objective of obtaining a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical) to be fed to the blast furnace.
Iron ore sintering. L. Lu, O. Ishiyama, in Iron Ore, 2015. Conclusions. Sintering is the most economic and widely used agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use. Compared with pellets, production of sinter is cheaper, and compared with lump ore, fluxed sinter is often more reducible with better softening ...
Textural classification allows mines to better predict where different types of goethite are present, allowing blending processes to be adjusted to address differences between ore types. Sintering. Fine (1mm) goethite is very reactive during the sintering process and can be leveraged to enhance melting and matrix strength.
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 ...
FeO so formed combines with SiO 2 and fluxes resulting in the formation of fluxed sinter.. The flexibility of the sintering process permits conversion of a variety of materials, including iron ore fines, captured dusts, ore concentrates, and other ironbearing materials of small particle size (, mill scale) into a clinkerlike agglomerate.
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.

In the ironore sintering process, a lowmeltingpoint phase can be formed by solidstate reaction between iron ore and flux, such as CaOFe 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 SiO 2. These compounds melt at increasing temperature and above 1100 °C the assimilation of solids into this primary melt occurs at a significant rate.
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.
Granulation and sintering are the two most important steps of the iron ore agglomeration process to produce sintered ore. Since granulation takes place at room temperature and is mainly characterized by physical and interfacial phenomena, while sintering is a thermal densification process involving extensive chemical reactions, the characteristics of the ore blends during these processes are ...

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 ...
