Despite at first instance the agglomeration of ores has imposed as a process required in the iron extractive metallurgy, this process has changed with the time until becoming in the main instrument to recycle in both the ironmaking and the steelmaking.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Sintering combines iron ore fines in the size range .1510 mm along with fluxes, solid fuel and various steel plant reverts to form iron ore sinter in the size range of 540 mm that can be charged into the blast furnace for production of pig iron. The quality of sinter has a strong influence on the productivity and fuel rate of the blast furnace.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377At present, only imported iron ore fines are used in Jingtang sintering plant. And it is hard to control the particle size of imported iron ores. Different iron ore fines are mixed properly before charged to sintering machine. It is an important means to solve this problem to seek the particle size matching between solid fuel and iron ore fines.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The process of sintering is basically a pretreatment process step during iron making for the production of the charge material called sinter for the blast furnace from iron ore fines and also from metallurgical wastes (collected dusts, sludge and mill scale etc.).
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The sintering technology is basically an agglomeration process for the iron ore fines which is dependent on heat to melt the surface of the smaller particles together to form larger agglomerates. A typical sinter plant consists of a number of sequential operating units with the sinter machine at the heart of the plant.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The iron ore sintering process is the second largest energy consuming process next to the blast furnace in overall integrated steel plant value chain. Sintering consists of two moving beds, namely a sintering machine, and an annular cooler. Once the sintering is completed, hot sinter is discharged on the annular cooler and air is blown from the bottom with blowers for cooling the sinter to ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron in a blast furnace. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the sintering process converts finesized 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.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Sinter 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.
