Sinter making is an agglomeration process in a steel plant where iron ore fines, coal fines, and fluxes are mixed in a sinter plant to manufacture a product of suitable chemical and physical properties to feed the blast furnace. The interest in Sinter-Based agglomeration processes is rapidly growing with the promise of enabling new applications by significantly reducing production costs.
This module will help you to understand the need, importance, and type of sinter in the iron-making process; different stages of the sintering process; the principle of sintering; and the typical properties of sinter suitable for improving the blast furnace productivity.
