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.
specifications, high basicity with medium range of MgO sinter was recommended to sinter plant. Introduction Iron ore concentrates or fines cannot be charged into blast furnace directly because they are detrimental to the permeability of the furnace. These iron ore fines are therefore required to be agglomerated into larger pieces [1, 2].

Table 1 shows the chemical composition of the Bayan Obo iron ore concentrate.56 The TFe content of the iron concentrate is 65.06%, the content of CaO and SiO 2 are 1.95 and 2.78% respectively, and the alkali metals K, Na, and F are also present. Table 2 …
1. Introduction. Iron ore pellets are one of the significant sources of iron for iron and steel making due to their superior metallurgical performance, low energy consumption, and less emission of environmentally harmful dust and gases during the production process [1], [2], [3].The two primary raw materials for pellet production are …
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 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.
Sintering is the most common method (75% of the total processing capacity) to agglomerate iron ores into a size suitable for blast furnace ironmaking. However, …
With the depletion of high-grade lump iron ore, concentrates have been identified as an alternative material for sinter making. In this study, the effect of concentrate and micropellet additions on the permeability of the sinter mixture was investigated. ... The results confirmed that the addition of concentrates to the sinter mix decreases the ...
Amongst various processes used in agglomeration, sintering and pelletization are widely used in the iron ore industries. About 70% of the blast furnace feed is reporting from the sintering processes. The …
Finally, the proportion of fine material in the available products has increased considerably for most iron ore fines. This has been found to have significant impacts on sinter quality and sintering performance. Magnetite concentrate is typically high in Fe grade and releases extra heat when oxidised to hematite.
The basic characteristics of Australian iron ore concentrate (Ore-A) and its effects on sinter properties during a high-limonite sintering process were studied using micro-sinter and sinter pot methods. The results show that the Ore-A exhibits good granulation properties, strong liquid flow capability, high bonding phase strength and …
Fastmarkets' iron ore 66% concentrate CFR Qingdao index averaged at $137.72 per tonne in January 2023, $14.09 (or 11.22%) higher than the previous month. A Xiamen-based trader told Fastmarkets that …

Earlier studies reported on the properties of iron ore and the quality of sinter. However, there is no unified understanding of the effect of SiO. 2. on the fluidity of iron ore, and the main primary mechanism is not clear. The effect of fluidity of iron ore on the reduction of sinter still lacks deep theoretical insights.
Information on the number of iron ore and concentrates production installations in the EU 27 that are included in the ETS has been provided by Euromines 3. An overview of the ... A distinction can be made between non-agglomerated iron ores and concentrates (sinter fines) and agglomerated iron ores and concentrates. The main products within
In order to make effective use of specularite concentrates in sintering process, some methods such as increasing the proportion of limes in sinter mixture ... to avoid the influence of adhesive powders on the granulation behavior of specularite concentrates, the mix of the iron ore fines were 45 mass% SC and 55 mass% Ore-F, …
The following Iron Ore specifications guide contains the primary specifications and methodologies for Platts Iron Ore assessments throughout the world. These are the timestamps used for Platts iron ore assessments. Data reported at or after these timestamps is not considered in the assessment process. Asia: 5.30pm Singapore …
of the iron ore sintering process more important than ever. Sintering is a process by which a mixture of fine-grained iron ores (< 6.3 mm), fluxes, and coke are agglomerated in a sinter plant to manu-facture a sinter product of a suitable composition, quality, and granulometry to be used as burden material in the blast furnace. Key quality ...
Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron in a blast furnace. During the iron ore sintering process in iron and steel manufacturing, 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.
