Sinter degradation: can we do something about it?

Material degradation is a huge issue and leads to material and energy loss which in turn hampers the forecasted tonnage of material to be produced in a year. This depends on a lot of factors -

• Chemical composition of the caked material

• particle size

• basicity

• reducibility index

• reduction degradation index

• cold strength index( tumbler index, abrassive index, shatter index)

• swelling index

These properties can be controlled by a number of ways, which will exponentially improve the quality of the sinter mix obtained. The following are a few ways that will help achieve such traits -

• temperature of baking

• temperature permeability

• holding time(grate-plate composed belt speed)

• particle size distribution
