Influence of biocoke on iron ore sintering performance and strength properties of sinter

Purpose. The research purpose is to substantiate the use of biocoke as a fuel in iron ore sintering, well its influence on performance and properties resulting sinter. To completely replace conventional coke breeze, produced using 5 wt.% biomass wood pellets at different carbonization temperatures 950 or 1100°C. Further, sintering process sinter quality studied high proportion 10, 15, 30, 45 temperature 950°C. Methods. Carbonization performed shaft-type electric furnaces produce laboratory biocoke. Afterward, ores conducted plant. assess sinter, filtration rate determined plant vane anemometer designed measure directional flow average velocity under industrial conditions. reducibility vertical heating furnace effect sinter’s physical-chemical properties. Findings. It has been that biocoke, carbonized 950°C, good prospects potential for shift sustainable sintering. Originality. proven with pellet ratio up 15 wt.%, obtained does not affect parameters characterizing process. strength indicators correspond 100 breeze. Biocoke used 30 causes deterioration quality. Practical implications. results addition 5-15 950°C are within standard deviation, which makes it possible instead
