Sintering is a process that consists in the thermal agglomeration of a mixture of fines that comprise iron ore, recycled iron and steelmaking products, slag-forming elements, and solid combustible (coke). The process has as objective obtaining a charge with the suitable physical–chemical and mechanical properties to be fed into the blast ...
Pellets around 4-10 mesh provide a happy medium between iron ore fines (crushed/ground iron ore) and a chunk of iron (mined) for use in a blast furnace. Pelletization offers an effective solution to the items noted above. The 'recipe' for successful pelletization, however, is determined through testing. Iron Ore Agglomeration Tests
Why agglomeration drums? Ranging in size between 3 feet (ft) and 15 ft (1 to 4.6 meters) in diameter, agglomeration drums are known for their high throughput (typically around 500 pounds per hour [lb/hr] – 3,500+ tons per hour [TPH]) and heavy-duty design and construction — both essential qualities for meeting the demands of the mining ...

World resources are estimated to be greater than 800 billion tons of crude ore containing more than 230 billion tons of iron. The only source of primary iron is iron ore, but before all that iron ore can be turned into steel, it must go through the sintering process. Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron and steel in a blast furnace.
Abstract. Sintering is the most economic and widely used agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use. Owing to the depleting reserves of traditional high grade iron ore, there have been considerable changes in iron ore resources available throughout the world, especially in steel mills in East Asia.
The occurrence or lack of agglomeration is often the result of several interconnected factors. In addition to the amount of moisture, for example, other factors can be experimented with in order to encourage or deter agglomeration in a given process setting, including spray rate, location(s) and even nozzle type. Motion (pin/paddle …
Balling (iron ore pelletizing) ...

At the processing plant, the taconite is crushed into very small pieces by rock crushing machines. The crushers keep crushing the rock until it is the size of a marble. The rock is mixed with water and ground in rotating mills until it is as fine as powder. Separation The iron ore is separated from the taconite using magnetism.
During the mining of iron ores, large amounts were getting generated. These fines since could not be used in blast furnace were being dumped. ... The origin of sintering process goes back to 1887 when F. Haberlein and T. Huntington of England invented the process of agglomeration for sintering of sulphide ores. In this process, the sintering ...
In 1970s, to ameliorate the undesirable leaching condition and obtain better extraction efficiency, the agglomeration and its processing controls were firstly mentioned in Nevada of the United States (Johnson and Roberto, 1997; Potter, 1981).As Fig. 2 shows, the basic operating procedure of agglomerated heap could be described that: 1) the …

4.1 Process Overview 4.1.1 Iron Ore Mining There are two basic methods of mining iron ore. These are: • Surface mining or open-pit mining • Underground or shaft mining To be competitive, iron mining must be done on a very large scale. Surface mining is the preferred choice, although there are exceptions.
Iron processing - Ores, Smelting, Refining: Iron ores occur in igneous, metamorphic (transformed), or sedimentary rocks in a variety of geologic environments. Most are sedimentary, but many have been changed by weathering, and so their precise origin is difficult to determine. The most widely distributed iron-bearing minerals are oxides, and …
