Jan 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.
Read MoreJun 11, 2019 World resources are estimated to be greater than 800 billion tons of crude ore containing more than 230 billion tons of iron. The only source of primary iron is iron ore, but before all that iron ore can be turned into steel, it must go through the sintering process. Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron and steel in a blast furnace. Mar 26, 2020 Jun 13, 2018 The iron ore fines with less than 10 mm size are usually fed to the sintering process, and only limited fraction (less than 20%) of 150 micron size of iron ore fines are allowed in the sintering process. The finer sized iron ore may choke the sinter bed and hinder the uniform air suction through the bed.

The iron ore results indicated that the mixture containing 20% Thabazimbi iron ore and 80% Sishen iron ore with fluxes where the coke, lime and return fines were sized by removing the 0.5 mm size fraction of the return fines and coke, and the 1 mm size iron ore. However, sintering has a size limitation. Excessive fineness (0.5 mm) loses its bed permeability. However, a huge quantity of ultra-fines iron oxides is generated both in the mines area and in the steel plant itself. Main source of generation of ultra-fines in mines area is the ore washing plant. During water washing of iron ore

Various kinds of iron ores, coke, and limestone are mixed with water in a rotating drum and form pseudo-particles. They are fed into a sintering Iron ore pellets are produced from the iron ore concentrate by pelletizing and sintering and are used as the feedstock for the blast furnace process. Metinvest offers a range of iron ore pellets for the blast furnace process, such as non-fluxed pellets produced by Central GOK with a basicity of 0.1. and 65.5% iron content, non-fluxed pellets ...

The granulometry of iron ore fines, used in sintering, has a great influence on sinter plant performance. Sintering process is developed mainly to utilize under size of lump ore called iron ore fines which otherwise, could not be charged directly in blast furnace. In order to conserve these, otherwise waste material, they are compacted together and made into lumps by a process known as sintering. Sintering is defined as the agglomeration of the ...
Read MoreThe coke combustion process in iron ore sintering is dependent on the coke size. Therefore pilot-scale sintering tests with blends containing different coke size distributions were carried out to ... This information should enable operators to predict optimum sinter operating conditions based on the initial chemistry and mineralogy of the iron ore fines and recognise the chemical modifications to the original iron ore fines required to produce high-quality iron ore sinter.CITATIONPownceby, M I, Webster, N A S, Manuel, J and Ware, N, 2015.

Introduction Together with lump iron ore and pellets, iron ore sinter is one of the major feeds for the production of iron in the blast furnace and can constitute up to 7085% of the total ferrous burden. In recent years, developments in sintering have made it possible for sinter plants to include up to about 30% iron ore concentrate in the Fe raw material mix. Thus the sintering process seems likely to retain its dominant position in terms of agglomeration of iron ore fines for blast furnace feed.

Coke Breeze In integrated steel plants, coke breeze is a by-product of coke oven battery which is used as fuel for sintering process. For estimation of a Shatter Index, a dried lump iron ore sample (10 kg) of size 40 10 mm was dropped 4 times from a height of 2 m onto a cast iron floor (0.5 0.5 0.03 m). Thereafter, the iron ore was screened and the shatter index expressed as the wt% passing through a

GUPTA Lime sinter (figure 24) is obtained by sintering limestone chips (- 12mm size) coated with fine iron ore slurry to which coke breeze particles were mixed and treated in a manner similar to iron ore sinter making to get strong mass of calcined lime sinter. Mar 09, 2013 The sintering process is used to agglomerate a mix of iron ores (blend), return nes, uxes and coke, with a particle size of less than 10 mm, so that the resulting sinter, with a screened size of 10 mm to 30 mm, can withstand pressure and temperature
Read MoreSep 12, 2018 Principally coal is required as a raw material to produce coke used in sintering and blast furnaces to convert iron ore to iron. This process is highly pollutive and led to the announcement of phasing out old and low-efficiency plants from polluting industries by the Chinese government in order to curb the pollution levels in the country. Nov 21, 2014 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.

Read MoreA sinter feed with good permeability from ignition until burn-through is required for efficient operation of a sinter plant. In this regard it is necessary to consider the widely held and simplistic view that sinter feeds containing iron ores with high ultra-fines content have low-pre-ignition permeability. Recently, the quality of sinter feed ore used in sintering process has deteriorated. In particular, Fe has decreased and gangue component has increased in the sinter feed ore. Increase of gangue is not only the factor to influence sinter qualities, but also the factor to increase coke ratio in the blast furnace operation as the increase of slag ratio.
