In general, iron ore beneficiation is done at the mining site. The concentrated iron ore is subsequently sintered or pelletized, depending on the grain size distribution, before it is charged to an ironmaking plant.
Iron ore is one of the two essential inputs for producing direct reduced iron (DRI); the other being natural gas or another hydrocarbon fuel that can be reformed to create a reducing gas rich in CO and H2.
The iron ore fines and concentrate cannot be directly utilized in blast furnace, and therefore, its agglomeration i.e. enlargement of particle size is necessary before it is used as feed for iron making. Sintering is one of the methods of agglomeration. All iron oxide bearing wastes and coke breeze is used for sintering purpose.
