Secondary hematite (SH) is a serious factor resulting in reduction degradation of iron ore sinter blast furnace; however, until now, quantitative study for SH formation had not been reported. In this work, the effects gangue composition, including MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2, on solid-state sintering process fines were investigated quantitatively. It shows that decreased from 67.84% to 46.11%, 35.44% 2...
