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.

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 process of sintering is a thermal operation involving melting and assimilation reactions. The first stage of the sintering process is the formation of the melt which involves the reaction between fine iron ore particles and fluxes. The initial melt is generated from adhering fines during heating via reaction between iron ore and fluxes.

It is generally appreciated that the sinter melt first forms through the reaction of iron ore with CaO in the adhering fines layer of pseudo-particles in the sinter bed. To simulate this process, tablets composed of fine ores and fine limestone were prepared and used to evaluate the initial melt formation and fluidity.
