Optimization of Pellet Plant Straight Grate Induration
Indian iron ores are suffering from high amounts of alumina and loss on ignition (LOI), which are deleterious constituents in both the pelletizing as well as iron making processes. Iron ore fines utilized in pellet making consist of alumina in the range of 3.20–3.35% and LOI in the range of 3.50–3.70%. Detailed palletization studies have been carried out on high alumina …

Iron Ore Agglomeration Technologies | IntechOpen
Until the 1950s of the last century, the oxidized iron ores that were loaded into the blast furnace had granulometries within 10 and 120 mm. However, the depletion of high-grade iron ore sources has made necessary the utilization of concentration processes with the purpose of enriching the iron ore. Because of these processes, a fine granulometry is produced, and …

Sinter Plant Operations: Hazardous Emissions | SpringerLink
The release of dioxins was detected at two different positions. The first release position was located at the point where the drying zone reached the hearth layer, showing a broad peak containing a large amount of furans. The second release position was located at the point where the melting zone reached the heath layer, showing a sharp peak.
