DRI: This iron production process directly reduces iron ore in solidstate with the reaction temperature below the melting point of iron. Reducing gases are produced from natural gas (gasbased DRI) or coal (coalbased DRI) called syngas, a mixture of H 2 and CO. Although DRI production is more energy efficient than pig iron production from BF ...
As there can be significant variation in process requirements and sources of iron ore fines, testing is often an essential part of the development of a successful iron ore pelletizing operation. Different sources of iron ore will respond differently to agglomeration, and process requirements will subsequently vary.

Abstract. In iron making process, sintering of iron ore fines is an integral step to utilize not only the ore fines but also to introduce a part of flux (limestone and dolomite) along with the sinter in blast furnace burden. In this way, the productivity of the furnace considerably improves. In this paper, some fundamental aspects such as the ...

A novel iron ore agglomeration process using concentrated solar flux, called a solarbased LMP process is proposed. The process has been tested using laboratory experiments inside a hybrid solar simulator reactor setup. The results indicate no change in the reaction mechanism of LMP formation under solar irradiation compared to electrical heating.
The process of sintering begins with the preparation of the raw materials consisting of iron ore fines, fluxes, inplant metallurgical waste materials, fuel and return fines of the sinter plant. These materials are mixed in a rotating pelletizing drum and water is added in order to reach proper agglomeration of the raw materials mix.

Iron ore sintering is a pretreatment step of smelting that agglomerates the iron ore using surface melting of green pellets to improve the quality of the steel product. The sintering process not only improves the quality of steel products, but also releases CO and CO2 gases, evaporates moisture, and improves the reducibility of iron ore to ensure smooth operation of the blast furnace. These ...
