The present article reviews the sintering process that the mixture follows, once granulated, when it is loaded onto the sinter strand. There, the sinter mixture is partially melted at a temperature between 1300-1480°C and undergoes a series of reactions that forms the sinter cake to be loaded into the blast furnace to produce pig iron.
Keywords: sintering process, laboratory sintering pan, infrared thermography, temperature control 1 Introduction Sintering is an agglomeration process in which iron ore fines and other products such as coke fines (or biomass) and basic materials are mixed and fired at a temperatures 1200 – 1350 °C.
In contrast, in fixed bed combustion, a sharp temperature non-uniformity ranging from the room temperature up to 1000 °C over less than 1/2 min can easily be generated as in the case of iron ore sintering. There the heat generated is transferred to the flowing gas, which then gives the heat to the still cold solids that are waiting for ignition.
