An on-going challenge for sinter plants is to obtain higher productivity from their sinter blends, or maintain sinter productivity whilst using more financially attractive iron ores. One of the most effective means to reduced blend cost is to use a higher proportion of concentrated iron ores in the blend. The key char-
It describes the main components and sections of a sinter plant, including raw material preparation, stockpiles, sinter machines, and product screening. ... 56 LOSS ON IGNITION The higher LOI of iron ore fines has a detrimental effect on sinter quality and productivity EFFECT OF Al2O3 An increase in Al2O3 % by 1 % increases the RDI value by …
Iron ore sinter plants are energy-intensive components of integrated iron and steel production (see Table 1), where the iron ore fines (<5 mm) are converted into larger (>5 mm) lump sinter cakes with greater gas permeability, which are the most important burden materials for iron making in blast furnaces (BFs) [7].The main process is shown in Fig. 2 and described in …
• Maximize production capacity while maintaining product quality at required levels has developed a holistic sinter plant optimizer, Optimus Sinter, which facilitates improved process performance and stability by holistically enabling the optimization of the overall sintering processes. Optimus Sinter has a thermodynamic model at its core.
Sinter productivity strongly depends on sinter permeabil-ity in sinter packed bed due to increase of air flow rate in it. Furthermore, high sinter permeability is achieved by large pseudo-particle which is sinter raw materials after granula-tion, and high void ratio of sinter packed bed represented as Ergun Formula.

Das Abstract Now a day's an effective process management system is essential for the sustainability of integrated steel plant. Their effective process enhances quality of
A Sinter plant in a steel plant is the final operation in a series of measures to prepare iron ore for blast furnace smelting.A sinter plant is an enterprise with a complicated technological process for producing the final product – agglomerate or sinter.. Agglomeration is a process of sintering fine ores and concentrates by fuel combustion in a layer of sintered material.
sinter plants, enabling major cost savings and process improvements without compromising raw material selection, sinter quality, energy efficiency and productivity. • The optimized raw mix calculation with precise chemical targets and additional control loops allows the production of sinter material of the highest quality, while at the same time
The paper outlines the measures implemented to increase the sinter plant productivity in the context of high Goethite rate, and the correspondence between the observed increased sintering productivity and reduced sinter plant CO2 intensity. The newer technologies implemented within the scope of the sinter plant upgrade, that could further lower ...
the entire suction track of the sinter machine, it is difficult to pin- point which source of fresh air leakage is contributing maximum to the drop in suction. Literature Study In early 70s, the air leakage of the sinter machine was more than 60%. The air leakage is generally lower for the newly built sinter machines. However, as reported by ...
sinter bed [7, 8]. Several reports have mentioned the deterioration of sinter plant productivity and sinter qualities with the use of porous iron ores as compared to dense ore [–24]. They explained the observed reduction in sinter productivity is due to soft/ porous ores absorbing a signicant proportion of the water
Get more out of your sinter plant operations without making any hardware modifications Key benefits Based on actual raw material data, the process data from DCS and the proprietary process model Optimus Sinter can holistically facilitate: • Up to 2% increase in gross sinter production • Up to 4% improvement in electrical energy consumption
The main objective of this study is to optimize the sinter plant process parameters to get the best productivity of Sinter Plant. Sinter has a very vital role for the production of hot metal in blast furnace. A huge number of industrial parameters as large as 106 numbers control the productivity of sinter plant in a very complex manner.
The Chapter accounts for sinter productivity, which is composed of sintering speed and sinter yield. The speed is governed by the gas-dynamics, heat transfer, ...

4. 4 WHAT IS SINTER Sintering is a process of agglomeration of fine mineral particles into compact porous and lumpy mass by incipient fusion caused by heat produced during the combustion of solid fuel within the green mix itself. THE NEED FOR SINTERING (i) IOF, Metallurgical Waste, Coke breeze, Lime dust and dolomite are used (ii)Better reducibility and …
A sinter plant is used to agglomerate iron ore to produce sinter, a product that can be used in a blast furnace.[1] According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the sintering process converts fine-sized raw materials, including iron ore, coke breeze, limestone, mill scale, and flue dust, into an agglomerated product, sinter, of suitable size for charging into the blast ...
SIMETAL Sinter VAiron is an advanced process optimization system which covers the sinter production process from ore preparation in the blending yards and sinter plant up to the blast furnace. It was developed in a close cooperation between the Austrian steel producer voestalpine Stahl and the engineer ing and plant-building company Siemens VAI.
Kamaishi No. 1 Sinter Plant, where it contributed to im-proved coke combustibility. However, this work did not consider the granulation property, permeability resistance, or destruction of quasi-particles. At JFE Steel's Fukuyama No. 5 Sinter Plant, sinter products with high productivity and high reducibility were produced with a high blending
