What Is A Sinter Plant?
Before iron ore pellets became common, sintering was used to process fine ore so it could be fed into a blast furnace. This is stll being done overseas. Now, most sinter plants in the USA are the "garbage disposal" for the steel mill processing pellet fines, dust, and mill scale into blast furnace feed.

ysis of plant behavior is often difficult and inconclusive. Physical simulation gives valuable information on ore pro- cessing characteristics and on specific problems, but has limitations as a means of representing a whole process. 2'3 In their recent review of fundamental aspects of sintering
Ore Sinter
The pellets are first formed in rotating drums or on rotary discs and thereafter dried and indurated at temperatures above 1273 K. Sintering is made by charging a mixture of ore fines together with coke breeze, fluxes, in-plant returns and return fines onto a circulating grate, or sinter strand, and igniting the coke breeze contents in the surface.
Why green iron ore may be the next big wave
The sintering of iron ore fines has long been criticized as a key culprit in carbon dioxide emissions in the steel industry. This expected rise in demand for direct-charge materials is clear, with major Brazilian miner Vale looking to ramp up its production of pellet and briquette to around 22% of its total production, or about 100 million ...

Iron Ore Agglomeration Processes and their Historical
Sintering and pelletizing are the processes of major importance for the iron production. During 2014, as per World Steel Association, the production of blast furnace iron and direct reduced iron were 1183 million tons and 73 million tons respectively. Most of this production has come from iron ore in the form of sinter and pellet.
Pelletization of hematite and synthesized magnetite
The induration process using straight-grate, grate-kiln, and vertical shaft kiln systems can be divided into four different stages drying, preheating, firing, and cooling [10,11].
