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].

The various analysis methods used to determine the quality of the BF charge ...
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.
As sintering plays a crucial role in the ironmaking process, attempts are continually being made to improve the productivity of sinter plants and the quality of
