Iron Ore Granulation for Sinter Production: Developments, Progress, and Challenges

Harmful Admixtures Assessment in Sinter Mixtures Used in Iron Ore Sinter Plants in Poland

J. Korol, Central Mining Institute, Department of Material Engineering, Poland D. Burchart-Korol, A. Smoliński, Central Mining Institute, Department of Energy Saving and Air Protection, Poland In this study composition of sinter mixtures used in Polish sinter plants were established. Seven sinter mixtures composition were examined, based on iron-bearing materials, admixtures and fuels.

Effect of Cao/sio2 Ratio on Melting Property and Strength of Sinter with Vanadium-titanium Iron Ore Addition

S. T. Yang, M. Zhou, T. Jiang, X. X. Xue, P. N. Duan, W. J. Zhang: School of Metallurgy, Northeastern University, China Melting behavior is the precondition of liquid phase reaction, which is the foundation of sinter consolidation. Melting property measurement and sinter pot test were adopted to determine the melting temperature and strength of sinter with 13 % and 40 % vanadium-titanium ore ad...

Progress and Challenges in Microalgal Biodiesel Production

The last decade has witnessed a tremendous impetus on biofuel research due to the irreversible diminution of fossil fuel reserves for enormous demands of transportation vis-a-vis escalating emissions of green house gasses (GHGs) into the atmosphere. With an imperative need of CO2 reduction and considering the declining status of crude oil, governments in various countries have not only diverted...

Application of stochastic programming for iron ore quality control

Stockpiling and blending play a major role in maintaining the quantity and quality of the raw materials fed into processing plants, especially the cement, iron ore and steel making, and coal-fired power generation industries that usually require a much uniformed feed. Due to the variable nature of such materials, they even come from the same source and the produced ores or concentrates are seld...
