A blast furnace (BF) is the dominant process for making iron in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron burden materials including iron ore pellets, sinter, and lump ore. While descending in the BF the charge materials reduce. The iron‐bearing materials should reduce fast and remain in the solid form until as high a …
The sintering process is a thermal agglomeration process, and it is accompanied by chemical reactions. In this process, a mixture of iron ore fines, flux, and coal particles is heated to about 1300 °C–1480 °C in a sinter bed. The strength and reducibility properties of iron ore sinter are obtained by liquid phase sintering.
Quantitative XRD analysis of iron ore sinter and pellets3.5.1. Fundamental studies of sinter phases. Apart from natural iron ore, the Rietveld method has also been applied to study the phases presented in sintered iron ore, or iron ore sinter. A typical outcome from the Rietveld analysis of an iron ore sinter is shown in Fig. 3.4.
