Coke breeze is the main heat source in sintering process. Its combustion yields enough amounts of heat which melts the sinter mix. One of the factors that significantly affect the course of coke breeze combustion is its grain size [1,2,3].It is known that finegrained coke reduces permeability of the sinter mix and the use of coke breeze with particle size below 1 mm is avoided on the ...
The CaO and MgO slag components do not coexist with iron ores and are added separately; therefore, CaO (such as limestone) and MgO (such as serpentine or dolomite) are mixed with iron ore fines as the sinter raw mix for the sintering process. The ultrafine iron ore reacts with the fluxes and forms a bonding matrix (silicoferrite of calcium and ...

The sinter plant turns iron ore into sinter, which is the optimal product for the blast furnace. Sinter is made by burning a mix of iron ore powder, fluxes and recycled substances from the steel plant to create an opengrained, consistent substance. The sinter is then crushed, cooled and screened for dust. Sometimes, iron ore is supplied in the form of iron ore pellets.
