Basics of Iron Ore Sintering A. K. Jouhari Conference paper First Online: 15 October 2023 133 Accesses Abstract 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.

Therefore, the carbon and Cl content of the raw materials used for iron ore sintering are important to the formation of dioxins. This is supported by Kawaguchi et al. (2002c), who reported that the properties and contents of the solid fuels and chlorides in the raw mixture significantly affect dioxin emissions during the iron ore sintering process.

The "pellets" or "Iron ore pellets" is actually a spherical uniform form of iron ore fines mixed with some ingredients like Dolomite, Bentonite, limestone and coke breeze which are later introduce in a furnace to get high quality iron or steel later. 3 Coal fines/coke Iron ore fines Bentonite Pellets. 4.

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.

The iron ore in the sintering dust was mainly magnetite, a small amount of hematite and gangue. Moreover, a small amount of quicklime also existed in the sintering dust due to using it as a solvent for the sintering process (Wu et al., 2022b). The peak intensity of metallic iron rose with the temperature, while peaks of magnetite and hematite ...

Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron in a blast furnace. During the iron ore sintering process in iron and steel manufacturing, sinter is created by mixing iron ore concentrate with several additives such as limestone and silica to control the chemistry and then igniting it at 1200°C in a continuous beltfed furnace. The production of highquality sinter is crucial for assuring ...

stituents from the coke and iron ore. Although some carbon is retained in the iron (typically 4 percent carbon by weight), most of the carbon is emitted as CO 2. Emissions also occur, although to a much lesser extent, during the production of steel. CO 2 emis sions occur as carbon present in the iron is oxi dized to CO 2 or CO. The produced ...

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 ...

In iron ore sintering process, coke combustion can influence the NOx emission. At the same time, there are other sintering parameters which can also affect the NOx emission, such as water content, limestone particle size, MgO content and return fines content. This work focuses on the influence of these parameters on the NOx emission in ...

Blast furnace The blast furnace is a huge, steel stack lined with refractory brick, where iron ore, coke and limestone are dumped into the top, and preheated air is blown into the bottom. The raw materials require 6 to 8 hours to descend to the bottom of the furnace where they become the final product of liquid slag and liquid iron.

An increase in particle size increases bed permeability and the volume of air drawn. Strength of sinter gets reduced with an increase in particle size of the ore due to reduction in contact area. For effective sintering, the use of larger ore lumps is undesirable. Iron ore size > 10mm is rarely preferred. Higher proportion of 100 mesh size ...

13. Driving Force for Sintering As with all processes, sintering is accompanied by an increase in the free energy of the system. The sources that give rise to the amount of free energy are commonly referred to as the driving forces for sintering. The main possible driving forces are The curvature of the particle surfaces An externally applied pressure A chemical reaction

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 ...
