Ore Sintering
Original purpose of the iron-ore sintering process is to agglomerate fine ores into lump burdens for blast furnace (BF). Since sintering conditions, e.g., kinds of ores and used fluxing materials, and pregranulation processes, strongly affect the metallurgical properties of the produced sinter, many researches and developments on the sintering ...

The IMSBC Code 2013
Iron ore and iron ore fines are two separate cargoes. Iron ore largely comprises lumpy material resembling small rocks or stones of 10-25 mm in diameter. It is defined as a category 'C' cargo under the IMSBC Code, meaning it is not liable to liquefy. Iron ore fines are largely made up of powdery material below

Lump ore is also cheaper than iron ore pellets, which can help contain raw material costs for the BF process. However, there have been long standing concerns about the decrepitation propensity and low softening temperature of lump ore, which have limited the usage of lump ore in the BF in the past (Wu et al., 2009). Nowadays, a typical modern ...

Utilization of Pellet Fines in the Iron Ore Sintering Process
The sinter plant that converts the iron ore fines into a desirable blast furnace feed, offers an avenue for recycling wastes. One of the several wastes that are produced at an iron and steel plant is the undersized pellet fines, which cannot be directly used in iron making. The present study evaluated the influence of these pellet fines on the sintering process. 5 …
