During the process of iron ore pelletization and preparation of feed for DRI or reduction smelting processes, around 3% of pellet fines (less than 8 mm) are generated as undesired product in the existing pellet plants. Such pellet fines acquire more than 24 million tonnes generated all over the world. Recycling and reuse of these high grade ...
Sintering is the most widely used agglomeration process for preparing iron ore fines for blast furnace applications. We are using our expertise in iron ore sintering and evaluation of blast furnace burdens to assist industry to maximise the value of their resources, optimise product quality and reduce their environmental footprint.
Sintering, which is also called 'frittage,' is the process of forming a solid mass of material through heat and pressure without melting to the point of liquefaction. This process involves the atoms in materials diffusing across the particle boundaries and fusing together into one piece. Sintering occurs naturally in mineral deposits, and ...
It can be seen from Tables 1 and 2 that the blend with high iron grade has a high content of FeO (14.51 wt.%) because it consisted of 70 wt.% magnetite concentrate and 30 wt.% fine ore. The coke breeze has high fixed carbon content (83.37 wt.%) and low volatile matter content (1.57 wt.%). 2.2 Methods. The double-layer sintering process is …
Sintering is a thermal process (1300–1400°C) by which a mixture of iron ore, return fines, recycled products of the iron and steel industry (mill scale, blast furnace dusts, etc.), slag-forming elements, fluxes and coke are agglomerated in a sinter plant with the purpose of manufacturing a sintered product of a suitable chemical composition ...
In this scenario, the world pelletizing capacity grew from 350 Mt/year in 2000 to more than 600 Mt/year in 2020. ron ore products and the corresponding use in iron making. (4) Typical ...
There are four stages involved in the production of iron ore pellets. These stages consist of (i) raw material preparation, (ii) formation of green balls or pellets, (iii) induration of the pellets, and (iv) cooling, storage and transport of pellets. Raw material preparation – During the process for pelletization iron ore concentrate from ...

Like other sintering processes, iron ore sintering converts iron ore fines of often − 8 mm sizing into larger agglomerates, namely, sinter, between 5 and 50 mm particle size, which possess the physical and metallurgical characteristics and gas permeability required for efficient blast furnace operation.As shown in Figure 14.1, iron ore sintering …
Ensure your plant's high performance and profitability while lowering investment and operating costs with our agglomeration technologies. Our innovative sintering and pelletizing solutions are based on over 60 years' experience and world-class R&D. Traveling Grate Sintering is suitable for sintering a wide range of raw materials, …
Pelletizing of iron ore was started in the 1950s to facilitate the utilization of finely ground iron ore concentrates in steel production. For the pelletizing of iron ore there are two main types of processes namely, the straight travelling grate (STG) process and the grate kiln (GK) process. In the STG process, a stationary bed of pellets is ...
Sintering and pelletization processes are largely influenced by the source of iron ore and the way in which the beneficiation flowsheet is adopted. The …
Agglomeration of iron ores is the iron ore pretreatment process in which the powdery iron ore that cannot be directly fed into a blast furnace experiences high-temperature solidification by sintering process and pelletizing process or low-temperature solidification by pelletizing process and briquetting process to generate the rich ore …

The sinter plant that converts the iron ore fines into a desirable blast furnace feed, offers an avenue for recycling wastes. One of the several wastes that are produced at an iron and steel plant is the undersized pellet fines, which cannot be directly used in iron making. The present study evaluated the influence of these pellet fines on the sintering …

Raw materials. Commercially supplied iron ore pellets and sinter of size range 10–13 mm are utilised in the present study. Comparable to the utilisation in the industrial blast furnace, two types of olivine fluxed pellets (types 1 and 2) and one type of iron ore sinter are mixed in 40:20:40 ratio to form a ferrous raw material bed.
Similar to sintering, pelletizing is another widely used process to agglomerate the iron ore. Sinter plants are usually located near the blast furnace plant, but pelletizing plants are often located near the mining site. Some works have both pelletizing and sintering plants at the smelter sites. 1.1.3.2.2.2 Green Pellets. The ore is crushed ...
The major advantages of using sinter in BFs are. Use of iron ore fines, coke breeze, metallurgical wastes, lime, dolomite for hot metal production. Better reducibility and other high temperature properties. Increased BF productivity due to higher softening temperature and lower softening –melting temperature range.
