A mathematical model of the iron ore sintering process in a fixed sinter bed and optimisation of the process parameters using real valued genetic algorithm is described.
Iron Ore Pellets are formed from beneficiated or run of mine iron fines. The iron is usually ground to a very fine level and mixed with limestone or dolomite as a fluxing agent and bentonite or organic binders as a binding agent. If the ore is a Hematite ore, coke or anthracite coal can be added to the mix to work as an internal fuel to help fire the pellets. This mixture is blended together
01.01.2015· Sintering process for iron ore fines 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.
Sinter having size > 5 mm will go to the cooler and then it will go to BF. Sinter with size < 5 mm size fines will be re-cycled in the process. Best achievements so far Highest production achieved so far is 1,168 MT / day @ 1.95 t/m2/hr productivity with 99 % plant availability Sinter return fines (- 5 mm size) controlled < 15 %

For the production of iron ore sinter, the high productivity and the reduction of air pollutants in flue gas have been demanded, in the situation with increasing fine size iron ore and shorting carbon material on the sinter raw material. These subjects on the sinter production, a lot of research and technological development have been carried out except for the reduction of CO2 through the
FUNDAMENTALS OF IRON ORE SINTERING R. P. Bhagat INTRODUCTION The process of sinter making originated from a need to make use of fines generated in mines and in ore benefiCiation plants. With the development of sintering technology, a sintering plant has become a tremendous success for providing a phenomenal increase in productivity and saving in coke rate to the blast furnace. The
Low-temperature (< 1300 °C) iron ore sinter is an agglomerate of unmelted and partially melted nuclei particles (+ 1 mm) and a matrix bonding phase produced from the melting of fine ore (− 1 mm) and flux particles, with the majority of melt formation occurring in the granule adhering fines layer.

Pure silica has a very high viscosity, but the addition of other metal oxides, except alumina, reduces the viscosity. The preferred characteristic for DRI grade pellets is typically 67% Fe (minimum) and 3.0% (maximum
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 phase, and has been incorporated into the

An earlier demonstration that the relative concentrations of isomers of polychlorinated dibenzofuran do not vary as the flamefront of an iron ore sinter plant progresses through the bed, and profiles are similar for two sinter strands has been widened to include studies of the similarity or otherwise between full scale strand and sinter pot profiles, effect of addition of suppressants and of
Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron in a blast furnace. Sinter is created by mixing iron ore concentrate with several additives such as limestone and silica to control the chemistry and then igniting it at 1200°C in a continuous belt-fed furnace.

One of the major raw material inputs for steel production via the Blast Furnace route is sintered iron ore (sinter). Sinter, consisting of iron ore fines, fluxes and other additives, is produced via a continuous thermal process to produce an agglomerated product with the quality impacting on iron productivity and ultimately environmental performance. Port Talbot Steelworks has a pilot scale
Sintering process is a generic term that is used to describe the process of agglomeration of a green mix of iron ores, fluxes and coke and plant solid wastes having a particle size of -10 mm so as to produce sinter which can withstand operating pressure and temperature conditions existing in a BF. Solid wastes such as dusts, sludges, slags and mill scales etc. are used for their utilization in
The sintering process is a pre-treatment step in the production of iron, where fine particles of iron ores and also secondary iron oxide wastes (collected dusts, mill scale etc.) along with fluxes (lime, limestone and dolomite) are agglomerated by combustion.
• Process designed to suitable small batch operations and large scale operations. • Excellent blast Furnace charge material in place of lump ore, reduces the cost of smelting of ore, increases Furnace permeability there by increasing BF productivity and lowering cost in terms of lower fuel rate. 18. 18 WHAT IS SINTER • Sintering is the process of agglomeration of iron ore fines into a
Mill scale is a valuable metallurgical raw material since it contains 65–70% iron. JSW Steel Ltd is a 7 Mtpa integrated steel plant and generates 270 t of mill scale per day. Most of the materials of steel plant wastes are recycled through sinter making in most of the countries.

Sinter plants agglomerate iron ore fines (dust) with other fine materials at high temperature, to create a product that can be used in a blast furnace. The final product, a sinter, is a small, irregular nodule of iron mixed with small amounts of other minerals.
Smaller scales of operation allows the use of inferior grade coke and iron ore (sinter usage is difficult). Mini blast furnaces are becoming increasingly as an economic and reliable source of iron for foundries as well as for forward integration with steelmaking units in EAF / EOF (and sometimes even small BOF) based steel plants.
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).
A research has been carried out in pilot plant and industrial scale, to enhance the strength of a sinter with high iron (58.8%) and low silica (4.38%) content [50]. By adding of serpentine and burnt lime into the ore mix to be sinterized and with a deeper sinter bed, there is a significant increase in the amount of magnesium ferrite and SFCA, which is associated with improved in sinter strength.
