ABSTRACT In steel industry and in mines, a significant amount of ultra-fines waste iron oxides and iron ore fines is generated. Utilizations of these fines are required to reduce the environmental hazards and conserve the natural resources. Some of these fines are normally used in sintering practice. However, sintering has a limitation of accepting ultra-fines materials. …

Iron ore powder agglomeration is the basis for blast furnace ironmaking and is the processing work in between ore crushing, ore grinding separation, and steelmaking. Its purpose is to …

The agglomeration process begins with the preparation of the burden mix for iron ore sintering and includes the following stages: material sizing, burden components dosing, mixing, moistening and pelletizing of the burden. Fine iron ore concentrate (<0.074 mm) and sinter ore fines (<10 mm) do not need crushing.

4.1 Process Overview 4.1.1 Iron Ore Mining There are two basic methods of mining iron ore. These are: • Surface mining or open-pit mining ... Another form of agglomeration commonly used is briquetting. Iron ores often contain impurities, undesirable chemical components such as phosphorous, sulfur, sodium, potassium (alkalis), alumina, silica ...

Making iron and steel from iron ore requires a long process of mining, crushing, separating, concentrating, mixing, agglomeration (sintering and pelletizing), and shipping to steel mills. Iron ore processing is characterized by a constant adaptation to changing raw materials and market conditions.

Sintering is an agglomeration process that fuses iron ore fines, fluxes, recycled products, slag-forming elements and coke. The purpose of sintering is to obtain a product with suitable composition, quality and granulometry to be used as burden material in the blast furnace. This process is widely studied and researched in the iron and ...

This book focuses on agglomeration, or the size enlargement process, of iron ores. This process sits at the interface of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. The book begins with a discussion of raw materials preparation and the beneficiation process.

The iron ore fines and concentrate cannot be directly utilized in blast furnace, and therefore, its agglomeration i.e. enlargement of particle size is necessary before it is used as feed for iron making. Sintering is one of the methods of agglomeration. All iron oxide bearing wastes and coke breeze is used for sintering purpose.

The mechanisms of agglomeration and defluidization and fluidization characteristic of iron oxide particles were investigated based on the theory of surface diffusion, interface reaction, surface nano/microeffect, and phase transformation. Moreover, a mathematical model was developed to predict the high-temperature defluidization behavior by the force-balance …

Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slag-forming agents, and solid fuel (coke). The purpose of the sintering process is manufacturing a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical and chemical) to be fed to the blast furnace.

Sintering is the most economic and widely used agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use. Compared with pellets, production of sinter is cheaper, and compared with lump ore, fluxed sinter is often more reducible with better softening characteristics. Iron ore sinter typically constitutes more than 60% of the blast ...

This study focused on improving recycling of carbon-bearing dusts from integrated steel plants by the composite agglomeration process (CAP), in which four types of the dusts were prepared as pelletized feed, while the other raw materials were used as matrix feed for sintering to produce agglomeration product as a substitute for traditional iron ore sinter. It was found that …
