Quantitative XRD analysis of iron ore sinter and pellets3.5.1. Fundamental studies of sinter phases. Apart from natural iron ore, the Rietveld method has also been applied to study the phases presented in sintered iron ore, or iron ore sinter. A typical outcome from the Rietveld analysis of an iron ore sinter is shown in Fig. 3.4.
Although iron ore concentrates are generally higher in iron grade and contain lower impurities, the finer size distribution of concentrates limits their usage in iron ore sintering. Therefore, pelletizing is needed to produce fired pellets from concentrates as burden materials for blast furnaces and direct reduction processes.

During the sintering process, sinter fuels are commonly used to provide the required energy. The coke breeze comes from coking plant (typically less than 3 mm in size) and is widely used due to ...
Coke breeze is the main heat source in sintering process. Its combustion yields enough amounts of heat which melts the sinter mix. One of the factors that significantly affect the course of coke breeze combustion is its grain size [1,2,3].It is known that fine-grained coke reduces permeability of the sinter mix and the use of coke breeze …
