The sinter process of iron ore with biomass carbon instead of coke breeze as fuel was investigated via thermodynamic analysis in this paper through a comparison of sinter composition indexes metallurgical properties and pollutant emissions Straw charcoal was used in this paper and its replacement does not adversely affect the composition index of iron ore
Iron ore sintering is used all over the world to prepare agglomerates for the ironmaking blast furnace [1] [2] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the major processes in a typical iron ore sintering plant The blended sinter mix typically composed of iron ores fluxes returned sinter fines plant dust and about 4 wt % coke breeze is first granulated to coarsen

The enforced regulations for the iron ore sintering processes are TEQ/Nm3 for newly constructed plants and 1ng TEQ/Nm3 for currently operating plants on the basis of O 2 15% in flue gas In fact according to the mea surements by own and the Environment Agency the aver
Iron ore sinter is an ordinarily utilized iron bearing burden in BF iron making unit The sintering agglomeration procedure aims to form high strength sinter including granulating of the mixed materials distributing the granulated materials and then igniting the fuels coke or coal sintering the iron bearing materials by the combustion of fuel in a grate with air suction beneath
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
Iron ore sintering is being restricted due to the large amount of energy consumption and pollutant emissions 24 25 and in most regions of China the sintering process is often subject to policy restrictions that lead to time sharing shutdowns while sinter still accounts for about
High alumina iron ore sintering is characterized by poor sinter indices and high carbon emission due to the limited formation amount of liquid phase In this study the conventional Ca bearing flux burnt lime was substituted by a new Ca bearing flux with low melting point prefabricated calcium ferrite for the improvement of the formation ability of

Silico ferrite of calcium and aluminum SFCA is one of the most commonly produced phases in fluxed iron ore sintering and has long been regarded as an important bonding phase in industrial sinters It is thus considered to have a significant effect on sinter quality In this study a solid solution model and database has been developed for the SFCA
In an iron ore sintering bed combustion of solid fuel supplies heat needed for sintering of fine particles and determines the quality of the sintered ores and the productivity of the process Coke has been widely used as an ideal fuel for this process but recent attempts to partially replace coke with a less expensive fuel have been
Sintering is the most economic and widely used agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use Owing to the depleting reserves of traditional high grade iron ore there have been considerable changes in iron ore resources available throughout the world especially in steel mills in East Asia
Methods Experimental Procedure The reference ratio of blended ore is 8% A 13% B 15% C 6% D 12% E 37% F and 9% G In order to obtain a suitable SiO 2 content the proportion of E ore in blended ore was reduced and the proportion of other iron ores in blended ore was fixed In other words the proportion of other ores increases proportionally
