A Process Intensification Approach to Improve Productivity
Granulation of the sinter mix is an important step in the iron ore sintering process. Several experiments were conducted at the pilot scale to achieve the PI objectives before the new technologies are developed or installed. Greater permeability of the sinter bed and thereby higher productivity is achieved with an enhanced granulation index.

XRD analysis and evaluation of iron ores and sinters
In iron ore sinters, the presence of different phases reflects differences in sinter constituent mixtures and different temperatures and reductant additions during sintering. This can be of use in the development of stronger, more reducible sinters of the desired basicity. 3.7. Use of mass balancing in iron ore analysis.
