The iron ore sintering process is a critical step in ironmaking, where fine-grained raw materials are transformed into porous yet solid and cohesive mass known as sinter. The sintering process usually converts lean iron ore into rich iron ore, which provides uniform and homogeneous raw material for blast furnace [1], [2], [3].

Sintering Fundamentals. The production of powder metal components can be summarized in three steps: powder preparation, compaction, and sintering. Metal powder is first formed and blended to the desired chemical composition. During this step, a lubricant, such as wax, is added to help in the ejection of compacts from the molding press.

iron ore and coke layers in a blast furnace causes a coupling effect between coke gasificationand sintering ore reduction. In a hydrogen-rich BF, when the contents of CO and H 2 change, the contents of CO 2 and H 2 O generated in the reduction process of iron ore are directly affected,thereby affectingthe gasification reaction of coke.

One advantage of the iron sintering process is its versatility—the process is quite successful with a wide range of ore fractions (from 0 to 10 mm). Along with clotting, other physical and chemical processes impact iron ore quality. During sintering, up to 90-98% of sulfide and up to 50-60% of sulfate sulfur burn out, and up to 10-20% of ...

In sintering, iron ore fines are heated to melt into pellets for the blast furnace. Coke breeze (fine particles of coke) are used as the fuel source [69]. Next, iron ore, sintered iron ore, limestone flux and coke enter the blast furnace. The blast furnace transforms the iron ore into pig iron, the precursor to steel.
