World resources are estimated to be greater than 800 billion tons of crude ore containing more than 230 billion tons of iron. The only source of primary iron is iron ore, but before all that iron ore can be turned into steel, it must go through the sintering process. Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron and steel in a blast furnace.

The present work proposes a novel process to sinter porous iron ore (porosity ~23–24%) with enhanced productivity and quality. The iron ore is pre-processed in the presence of calcined lime for the temporary closure of pores, which further prevents water absorption during the granulation process in drum in the presence of water. The …

1. Introduction. Sintering is very widely used around the world to prepare a lumpy ferrous feed for the ironmaking blast furnace. The sintering process involves the formation of a bed on a strand and the sequential combustion of solid fuel particles (typically coke) in the bed to form a narrow flame front, which travels downwards.
