The properties of iron ore sinter – commonly defined by measures of tumble strength, reduction degradation and reducibility – have a major impact on blast furnace performance. These properties are largely influenced by raw material properties, in particular the bulk ore composition. Despite this importance, there is a lack of quantitative data on the impact …
Microindentation testing was undertaken on sinter phases in iron ore sinter to determine the range and mean of phase/morphology microhardness. The mean fracture toughness of each sinter phase/texture was calculated from indent-associated radial cracks. A value for the composite microhardness (CH) and composite fracture toughness (CFT) was ...
In this review, the sintering process is first described and analyzed to identify the key factors affecting the structure and quality of iron ore sinter. Under fixed sintering conditions, the granulation efficiency, nucleus stability and primary sinter melt volume and properties of the iron ore are considered to have significant influence on the sinter structure and quality. …

Japan started the national project "COURSE 50" for CO2 reduction in the 2000s. This project aimed to establish novel technologies to reduce CO2 emissions with partially utilization of hydrogen in blast furnace-based ironmaking by 30% by around 2030 and use it for practical applications by 2050. The idea is that instead of coke, hydrogen is used as the reducing agent, …
Proportioning is an important part of sintering, as it affects the cost of sintering and the quality of sintered ore. To address the problems posed by the complex raw material information and numerous constraints in the sintering process, a multi-objective optimisation model for sintering proportioning was established, which takes the proportioning cost and TFe …

A rapid increase in iron ore production, exceeding the rate at which steel was produced (Figure 1.1) has resulted in an iron ore surplus within the global market. The divergence between the world iron ore and world steel production trends can be seen from the year 2004, increasing to what is seen today.

Iron ore sinter is ideally composed of unreacted iron ore nuclei (~30 - 40 per cent) cemented together by a porous matrix (~60 - 70 per cent) comprising mainly complex ferrite phases (denoted by the acronym SFCA - silico-ferrite of calcium and aluminium) plus minor calcium silicates and glass. The sinter matrix forms largely from high-temperature reactions between …
