Prior to dispatch of sinter to the blast furnace for hot metal production, the sinter product from the sinter cooler is screened to remove smaller/finer particles. The undersize so generated is called internal return fines, which are generally recirculated into the sintering machine. A very high level of internal return fines generation limits the use …

Ore 2 being a concentrate, was very fine with almost passing 0.15 mm, and is therefore expected to fully contribute to adhering fines during granulating and sintering. Ore 1 is characterised by a typical size distribution of iron ore sinter fines containing about 50.3% −1 mm and 23.3% −0.15 mm materials.

Based on the particle size, iron ores are classified as iron ore fines (<10 mm) or iron ore lump (6.3–31.5 mm); iron ore fines are first processed in a sinter plant, while lump ores can be charged into the blast furnace (BF) directly. Iron ore lump is the lowest cost iron bearing material for the BF burden.
