The iron ore in the sintering dust was mainly magnetite, a small amount of hematite and gangue. Moreover, a small amount of quicklime also existed in the sintering dust due to using it as a solvent for the sintering process (Wu et al., 2022b). The peak intensity of metallic iron rose with the temperature, while peaks of magnetite and hematite ...

The process of sintering is a thermal operation involving melting and assimilation reactions. The first stage of the sintering process is the formation of the melt which involves the reaction between fine iron ore particles and fluxes. The initial melt is generated from adhering fines during heating via reaction between iron ore and fluxes.
Abstract Iron ore, pellets, and sinter were reduced with hydrogen at 800 °C to understand the degree of reduction and the mineralogical aspects. The weight loss of goethite and limonite iron ore was noticed to be lower than that of magnetite and hematite varieties. Xray diffractometry (XRD) indicated 100 pct Fe in the case of hematite, 93 pct in magnetite, 53 pct in goethite, and as low as ...
This process allows the direct utilization of fine iron ores and coal instead of sinter and coke. The fluidized bed reactor system is fed with iron ore fines of a particle size smaller than 8 × 10 −3 m (Ahn et al., 2010) and additives such as limestone or dolomite. To heat up the raw iron ores in the last fluidized bed reactor (fluidized bed ...
Optimizing iron ore proportion is significant for improving the performances of sintering process, and the cost of iron ores is important for iron and steel company.

Ironbearing byproducts are rich in iron and carbon and are often reused in the iron ore sintering process. However, there are fewer studies on the effect of them on sintering flue gas pollutants.
Lump iron ore, fluxed/superfluxed sinter and acid/basic pellets are the major iron bearing materials. Because of high SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 content in iron bearing materials, limestone and dolomite as fluxes are added in sintering process to promote the formation of low melting slag which helps in achieving the desired sinter properties.
LD slag contains high amount of CaO, iron, and MgO, thus recycling it through sintering process helps in the saving of flux and iron ore. The recycled wastes have some effect on sinter quality, strength and productivity. JSW Steel Limited is a Mtpa integrated steel plant and produces 2000 to 2500 tons of LD slag per day.
The selective granulation process is a new sintering process for high alumina iron ore fines, and can eliminate the adverse effects of 'hard to sinter' or 'unsuitable for ironmaking' ores.
