For the pelletizing of iron ore there are two main types of processes namely, the straight travelling grate (STG) process and the grate kiln (GK) process. In the STG process, a stationary bed of pellets is transported on an endless travelling grate through the drying, oxidation, sintering and cooling zones.
Sintering is a thermal treatment technique of compacting and forming of solid material using heat and pressure without melting the main constituent (or without heating it to its liquefaction temperature). ... In thermodynamic understating, it is a surface energy reduction process by reducing surface area. Since small particles have more surface ...
of coke breeze (as in iron ore sintering) may be an alterna-tive, cost-effective process of agglomeration which is likely to be free from the preceding limitations. However, sintering of chromite fines is still challenging, because the melting point of chromium spinel is too high to form a molten phase required for the bonding during the sintering.
Investigation shows that the new process has a series of advantages over traditional sintering or pelletising such as ability to use diverse iron bearing materials, significant improvement in the ...
Sintering is the most widely used agglomeration process for preparing iron ore fines for blast furnace applications.
