Principle of sintering
During the iron ore sintering process, its SiO2 content considerably affects the sinter quality. In this study, the effect of SiO2 content on iron ore sintering indexes was studied, with mineral composition and microstructure analyses. It was shown that the strength and reducibility of sintering products improved when SiO2 content increased.
The iron ore fines (− 10 mm) are agglomerated using Dwight Lloyed sintering machine. The iron ore fines and coke breeze fines mix with moisture is fed on the sinter bed which is ignited by a gas burner to initiate sintering process. The hot sintered ore is discharged at the end of the machine.
Emission Optimized Sintering (EOS®) for lower costs Iron ore sintering creates substantial offgas volumes, and treating these in order to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards is expensive. EOS® uses recycling technology to reduce offgas volumes by 40 to 50 %, resulting in smaller secondary gas treatment systems. This means:

The steps involved in the iron ore sintering process is shown in Fig. 1. Various raw materials used in sintering viz. iron ore fines, fluxes, solid fuel and steel plant reverts are blended in a specific proportion as per the desired chemical composition of sinter and stockpiled in an open yard. Stockpiling is done to ensure chemical and physical
Prior to dispatch of sinter to the blast furnace for hot metal production, the sinter product from the sinter cooler is screened to remove smaller/finer particles. The undersize so generated is called internal return fines, which are generally recirculated into the sintering machine. A very high level of internal return fines generation limits the use of ore for sintering which may ...
The sintering process produces iron ore agglomeration of size 1040 mm with better reducibility values than lumps. Utilization of a higher proportion of quality agglomerates in the burden increases the productivity of the blast furnace. The sintering process increases the productivity and reduces the requirement of fuel, flux, and operation time.

As a result materials layer thickness of sintering machines has also continued to increase, from 200300 mm at that time to more than 700 mm now. Due to the limitation of special iron ore resources and technical conditions, later ...
Sinter plants agglomerate iron ore fines (dust) with other fine materials at high temperature, to create a product that can be used in a blast furnace. The final product, a sinter, is a small, irregular nodule of iron mixed with small amounts of other minerals.
At this stage, China's black smelting technology is still dominated by the "sinteringblast furnaceconverter" process.
