— A sample of iron ore sinter was collected from a belt cut of the conveyor that feeds the industrial chute system of a plant located in India. Sinter particles are more prone to degradation than other iron agglomerates. This may be attributed to the inherent porous structure of the sinter [9].
— FeO so formed combines with SiO 2 and fluxes resulting in the formation of fluxed sinter.. The flexibility of the sintering process permits conversion of a variety of materials, including iron ore fines, captured dusts, ore concentrates, and other iron-bearing materials of small particle size (e.g., mill scale) into a clinker-like agglomerate.
has built more than 400 iron ore sinter plants worldwide. This process, primarily used for iron ores, can also be used for sintering manganese and nickel ore fines. Our energy-optimized version of the sintering (EOS) process reduces off-gas volumes and the emission of hazardous pollutants, while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption.
The raw materials, consisting of various materials such as iron ore fines, coke breeze and waste materials, are metered and conveyed to a mixing system. In a rotating mixing drum, the raw materials are mixed after the addition of sinter residues and water, which is also known as nodulation.
— Iron ore sinter is an ordinarily utilized iron-bearing burden in BF iron-making unit.
