The BF uses sinter, pellet, and lump ore as the iron-bearing raw materials and coke and pulverized coal as reducing agents to produce hot metal with consistent quality for the BOS process. It produces more than 70% of the feed materials required for the BOS steelmaking process. ... Quality requirements of iron ore for alternative ironmaking ...

The quality of iron ore fines have been deteriorating, which has affected sinter quality and productivity adversely. New pretreatment and sintering technologies are therefore required to tackle the gradual change in the quality of iron ore fines. In the sintering process, iron ore fines are first granulated with fluxes such as limestone and coke breeze, and are then loaded and …

It is important to have a high iron content, low gangue content, and basicity of the order of 1.6-2.1. Sinter reducibility, and sinter quality in general, improves with a higher level of hematite than magnetite, and its structure improves with a higher level of primary or residual hematite and ferrites than secondary or precipitated hematite. 2 ...

The size of iron ore affects the sintering properties. An increase in the size of iron ore promotes the productivity of sinter, but can reduce the tumbler strength slightly and save a little coke. The mineralogy of sinter can more easily be predicted from its chemical composition than its physical and chemical properties.

The production of high-quality sinter is crucial for assuring consistent, stable furnace productivity with a low consumption of reductants. Sinter quality begins with the mined iron ore and the proper selection and mixing of the raw materials. Inhomogeneous raw mix can affect permeability and cause an increase in fuel consumption.

Sinter is normally the major component of the blast furnace (BF) charge burden. Sinter consists of many mineral phases produced during process of sintering of iron ores. The quality and properties of sinter are dependent on the mineral structure of sinter. However, since the sintering conditions are usually not uniform throughout the sinter bed ...

Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries. It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Almost all (98%) iron ore is used in steelmaking. Iron ore is mined in about 50 countries. The seven largest of these producing countries ...
