Crushed ore agglomeration has been successfully utilised as a pretreatment step and has two major aims: (1) to allow thorough application of leach solution and "kick start" the leach process, and (2) the application of leach solution or binder allows fine particles to coalesce onto larger rock particles and reduce segregation (Wang et al ...
Iron Ore Sintering: Process
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.
