Modeling Sintering Process of Iron Ore Jose Adilson de Castro Graduate Program on Metallurgical Engineering -Federal Fluminense University Brazil 1. Introduction In this chapter, a methodology for simulating th e sintering process of iron ore is presented. In order to study the process parameters and inner phenomena, a mathematical model.ABSTRACT Sintering is a process by which a mixture of iron ores, fl uxes and coke is agglomerated in a sinter plant to manufacture a sinter product of.
SINTERING PROCESS Sinter making is a method of fusing iron ore fines into larger particles suitable for charging into the blast furnace. Predominant source of iron in many blast furnace processes. This technology was developed for the treatment of the waste fines in the early 20th century. Since then sinter has.
The iron ore sintering process prepares fine iron the ores for the blast furnace process. Sinter plants agglomerate iron ore fines with other fine materials at high temperature in a mix bed to create a product that can be used in a blast furnace. Main feed into a sinter plant is base mix, which consists of iron ore fines,.
The sintering of iron ore is presently a significant industrial source of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD Fs) worldwide owing to the fundamental requirement of the operation of a high temperature process to pre-treat fines and to recycle plant by-products arising from the integrated iron and steelworks.
Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron in a blast furnace. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the sintering process converts fine-sized raw materials, including iron ore, coke breeze, limestone, mill scale, and flue dust, into an agglomerated product, sinter, of suitable size for charging into the blast furnace.
Jan 11, 2022 Sintering is a process used to agglomerate iron ore fines in preparation for blast-furnace smelting and is usually carried out at iron and steelmaking centres. It involves the incorporation of crushed limestone, coke and other additives.
Required to produce 0.9 Mg (1 ton) of product sinter. 12.5.1.2 Iron Production - Iron is produced in blast furnaces by the reduction of iron bearing materials with a hot gas. The large, refractory lined furnace is charged through its top with iron as ore, pellets, and or sinter flux as limestone, dolomite, and sinter and coke for fuel.
This study set out to reduce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions from the iron ore sintering process by optimizing its operation parameters obtained from the Taguchi experimental design. Four operating parameters, including the water content (Wc range = 6.0-7.0 wt ), suction pressure (.
Jul 11, 2018 The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and low-grade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking. This chapter.
Apr 02, 2010 The sintering process begins with the preparation of a sinter mixture consisting of iron ore fines, fluxes, solid fuel (called bonding agents in Japan) such as coke breeze, and return fines from the sinter plant and blast furnace as well as recycled ferruginous materials from downstream iron and steelmaking processes.
The sinter plant. 1,4) According to the Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document for Iron and Steel Production8) the average rate of BF dust recycling at European sinter plants is 12.7 kg t of sinter. In the sintering process coke breeze is used as fuel to sup-ply the thermal energy for sintering the feed material. At the.
Ensure your plant’s high performance and profitability while lowering investment and operating costs with our agglomeration technologies. Our innovative sintering and pelletizing solutions are based on over 60 years’ experience and world-class R D. Metso Outotec Traveling Grate Sintering is suitable for sintering a wide range of raw materials, including iron, manganese,.
The iron ore feed size in sintering process. In present inves-tigation pot grate sintering experiments were carried out with various size iron ore fines (1.22 to 3.95 mm mean size) to study the influence of iron ore feed size on properties and productivity of the sinter. Various researchers define the sizes of the nucleus and.
Coarse iron ore is considered similar to a — -in. Mesabi wash ore containing some 95 pct of its particles between in. and 100-mesh. Intermediate iron ore is considered similar to our New York State magnetic concentrates in which all the particles are — 20-mesh and about 60 pct are +.
Nov 21, 2014 Sintering process is a generic term that is used to describe the process of agglomeration of a green mix of iron ores, fluxes and coke and plant solid wastes having a particle size of -10 mm so as to produce sinter which can withstand operating pressure and temperature conditions existing in a BF.
