Fig 1 Iron ore sinter. Types of sinter. Sinters are classified into acid sinter, self-fluxing sinter, and super fluxed sinter. Self-fluxing sinter has sufficient content of CaO (lime) in it which is required to flux its acid components (SiO2, and Al2O3). Super-fluxed sinter has additional content of CaO for fluxing of the acid components ...

The sinter plant turns iron ore into sinter, which is the optimal product for the blast furnace. Sinter is made by burning a mix of iron ore powder, fluxes and recycled substances from the steel plant to create an open-grained, consistent substance. The sinter is then crushed, cooled and screened for dust. Sometimes, iron ore is supplied in the form of iron ore pellets.

Furthermore, the reduction rate of sinter and iron ore pellets begins to resemble each other at higher temperatures. 1 Introduction. A blast furnace (BF) is the most common process for hot metal production in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron-bearing materials separately, which leads to a layered structure.
