1. Introduction. Iron ore sintering is an important hot agglomeration preprocess for ironmaking in most integrated steel mills. This process converts a mixture of ore fines, fluxes, return fines and plant dust to sinter by partial melting and resolidification of the granulated particles in a moving grate, in which the coke breeze is typically used as solid fuel with mixing ratios of 35 wt ...
