Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines,
recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slag-forming agents, and solid fuel (coke). The …

This paper critically reviews published research on silico-ferrite of calcium and aluminum
('SFCA') phases, the major bonding phases found in modern iron ore sinters. In particular …

Steel industry nitrogen oxides (NO x) emission requirements are getting increasingly
rigorous. Calcium ferrite around coal or coke fines controls the combustion of nitrogen …

Abstract Effects of basicity, B (CaO: SiO 2 ratio) on the thermal range, concentration, and
formation mechanisms of silico-ferrite of calcium and aluminum (SFCA) and SFCA-I iron ore …

The formation mechanisms of the complex Ca-rich ferrite phase SFCA-I, an important
bonding material in iron ore sinter, during heating of synthetic sinter mixtures in the …

The relative effects of gibbsite, kaolinite and aluminous goethite as alumina sources on the
thermal stability, concentrations and formation mechanisms of silico-ferrite of calcium and …

The sintering process is a thermal agglomeration process, and it is accompanied by
chemical reactions. In this process, a mixture of iron ore fines, flux, and coal particles is …

The effect of basicity on high-chromium vanadium-titanium magnetite (V-Ti-Cr) sintering was
studied via sintering pot tests. The sinter rate, yield, and productivity were calculated before …

The physical properties of iron ore sinter are largely influenced by raw material properties, in
particular the bulk ore composition and its associated mineralogy. The levels of Fe, SiO2 …

The effects of basicity and Mg addition on the crystallisation during cooling of complex Ca-
rich ferrite iron ore sinter bonding phases SFCA and Fe-rich SFCA was investigated using in …
