into crude pellets called 'sinter'. This step is necessary to maintain permeability of the blast furnace burden to avoid smothering the flow of reducing gases. Naturally, because they bypass the sintering stage, lump commands a price premium over fines of the same quality. This 'direct-charge' premium can vary depending on

The furnace charge, or burden, of iron-bearing materials (e.g., iron-ore pellets and sinter), coke, and flux (e.g., limestone) descends through the shaft, where it is preheated and reacts with ascending reducing gases to produce liquid iron and slag that accumulate in the hearth.
Hot metal production using sinter and pellets in the blast furnace is compared, considering aspects like; blast furnace productivity, environmental performance, solid waste management, slag-coke ...
Thanks to the experimental blast furnace, LKAB has now launched a new blast furnace pellet specially desi-gned for operation with sinter. The new product, KPBA, an acid pellet with quartzite as main additive, has been in regular use in European steel works for more than a year (table II). The improved operational stability experienced in the
OSTI.GOV Patent: Furnace for the continuous sintering of pellets of ceramic nuclear fuel material
LKAB produces two types of pellets: blast furnace pellets and direct reduction pellets. Iron Ore Sintering and Pelletizing Capabilities The Natural Resources Research Institute's Coleraine Minerals Research Lab is a full service minerals research laboratory with complete capabilities for sintering and pelletizing iron ore on both bench and ...
under simulated blast furnace con-ditions to understand the physicochem-ical characteristics of the ferrous burden (pellet and sinter) under nut coke mixed charge conditions. Materials and method Raw materials Inthepresentstudy,commercially avail-able iron ore pellets and sinter of size range 10–13 mm are utilized. Fluxed
For example, in blast furnace iron making, Fig. 5.1, iron oxide in the form of lumpy ore, sinter or pellet along with coke and limestone, are charged on the top of the furnace continuously. The charge slowly moves down and hot reducing gases produced by burning of coke in front of tuyeres move up through the bed of solids and finally escape ...
The blast furnace uses high-carbon ferrochrome for the charging materials including: sinter, pellets, natural lump ore, flux and coke. The so-called iron smelting structure technology mainly refers to the proportion of sintered ore, pellet ore and natural lump ore used. The flux is added during the sintering and pellet production process.
Jan 11, 2013· A blast furnace charge consists of coke, ore or sinter, and limestone. These materials must be in lumps of a certain size (40-60 mm). Larger lumps prolong the process of reduction and fluxing. Smaller lumps block the flue-gas passages and prevent a uniform descent of melting materials in the furnace. 2. IRON ORES: Ore is a metal bearing mineral.
Sep 12, 2018· Steel is made predominantly by two routes: Blast Furnace – Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) route and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) route globally, both these processes require iron ore to be fed in BF or DRI units. Globally, around two billion tonnes of iron ore (average 62%) is used in the form of lumps/sinter/pellets to produce steel.

Hatch has compared the merits of using sinter and pellets in the blast furnace to help steel producers evaluate the impact of increased pellet usage in the blast furnace burden. 2.2 Comparing Sinter and Pellets Sinter and pellets are agglomerated forms of iron ore, both suitable for use as blast furnace burden materials.
However, we still have problems in the selection of the blast furnace charge structure. The proportion of lump ore basically reaches 15-20%, with no or only 3-5% pellets. ... The main problem faced is how to select sinter, pellets and sinters reasonably in the case of poor metallurgical properties of sintered ore (the low-temperature reduction ...

Sinter 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. The process, called sintering, causes the constituent materials to fuse to make a single porous mass with little change in the chemical ...
The furnace is fed with iron ore, pellets, and/or sinter, flux and slag producing material such as limestone or dolomite, and coke for fuel. The blast air causes the iron oxides, flux, and coke to react and iron, carbon monoxide and blast - furnace slag is produced.
Charging of super fluxed sinter in combination of acid pellets in blast furnace is the common technique to improve the utilization of fines in iron making. Sintering has a size limitation, while pelletization can utilize ultra-fine iron oxides or concentrates, but it is involved …
blast-furnace technology for the melting of the titanium-vanadium-magnetite concentrate suitably prepared in the form of sinter or pellets. vanadium in the titanium-vana-dium-magnetite concentrate does not prevent it from being directly used for the blast-furnace charge. Titanium, if intro-duced to the blast furnace in excessive amounts, may cause
