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.
Iron ore pellet is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better tumbling index when compared with the iron ore and it can be used as a substitute for the iron ore lumps both in the BF and for DRI production. Pellets have good reducibility since they have high porosity (25 % to 30 %). Normally pellets are reduced considerably faster than …
The high-temperature performance of iron ore fines is an important factor in optimizing ore blending in sintering. However, the application of linear regression analysis and the linear combination method in most other studies always leads to a large deviation from the desired results. In this study, the fuzzy membership functions of the assimilation …

Abstract In the iron ore industry significant emphasis is placed throughout the mining process on meeting chemical composition specifications for the export of fine ores. However, little has been published on the implications of ore chemical composition for iron ore sinter and pellet product quality. The ore bulk composition and the nature of the …

Table 1 gives the chemical compositions of raw materials, including iron ore materials, fluxes, coke breeze and return fines (<5 mm). Iron ore materials characterizing high iron content and low impurities such as SiO 2, MgO, Al 2 O 3, and so on.Quicklime and dolomite were Ca- and/or -Mg contained fluxes used to adjust the basicity and MgO …
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 ...
The objective of iron ore agglomeration is to generate a suitable product of granules in terms of thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Sintering and pelletization processes are largely …
Iron Ore: Mineralogy, Processing and Environmental Issues summarizes recent, key research on the characterization of iron ores, including important topics such as beneficiation (separation and ...
SINTERING PROCESS. Sinter making is a method of fusing iron ore fines into larger particles suitable for charging into the blast furnace. Predominant source of iron in many blast furnace processes. This technology was developed for the treatment of the waste fines in the early 20th century.
Our iron ore pelletizing systems combine the best features of both technologies to provide the most modern plant and to produce pellets at the lowest cost and highest quality. Pellet plants sized from 1.2MTPA to 9MTPA. Engineering and design of complete plants from ore receiving to pellet discharge. Supply of the main pelletizing and indurating ...
The raw iron ore sample (52 kg) preparation was constituted by comminution by jaw and roll crushers to − 3.36-mm size.This size was determined based on work carried out by Umadevi et al. (2011), who studied the influence of iron ore fines (mean particle size from 1.22 to 3.95 mm) on mineralogy, productivity, physical and …
These plants receive iron ore mostly by rails. some plant may receive by long distance slurry pipeline. In pelletizing plants located at port which are dependent on imported iron ore, the receiving method involves the transportation of the ore in a dedicated ship, unloading the ore at a quay and stockpiling it in a yard. Iron ore is …
Iron ore must go through a lengthy pre-processing stage before it can be pelletized – a series of steps that work to beneficiate and concentrate low-grade ores. This process varies depending on the ore source, but typically involves various stages of crushing and grinding to reduce the size of the iron ore. Separation techniques such as ...
Ore 2 being a concentrate, was very fine with almost passing 0.15 mm, and is therefore expected to fully contribute to adhering fines during granulating and sintering. Ore 1 is characterised by a typical size distribution of iron ore sinter fines containing about 50.3% −1 mm and 23.3% −0.15 mm materials.

Raw material preparation, such as iron ore sintering, pelletizing, and cock making, is the major CO 2 emitter. As climate change becomes a bigger concern, steel …
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 …
Furthermore, the reduction rate of sinter and iron ore pellets begins to resemble each other at higher temperatures. 1 Introduction. A blast furnace (BF) is the most common process for hot metal production in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron-bearing materials separately, which leads to a layered structure.
Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slag-forming agents, and solid fuel (coke). The purpose of the sintering process is manufacturing a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical and chemical) to be fed to the blast furnace.
With the depletion of high-grade lump ores and sinter fines, iron ore pelletising has gained popularity during the past 2–3 decades (Cameron et al. 2015). Pellet plants are nowadays confronted with less stress from the increasingly stricter environmental legislations than the sinter plants due to the following three reasons ...
Apart from the existing installations for iron ore pelletisation, there is currently an ongoing project for a new pelletising plant in Austria. The planned capacity could be around 1.4 Mt of pellet production. The project is still in the early planning phase and an earliest start-up date is estimated to be in 2013.
The ore bulk composition and the nature of the minerals in the fine ore both play a critical role in determining the type of high temperature bonding phases that form during sintering and pelletising. This paper uses the experimental determination of phase relations in model sinter and pellet systems such as Fe 2 O 3-CaO-SiO 2 (FCS) and Fe 2 O ...
