Iron Ore
4 Iron Ore Consumption. Iron ore is used directly in the steelmaking process in the blast furnace in the form of lump, pellet, and fines (see Fig. 5 ). (Fines are converted to sinter feed in a sinter plant.) Iron ore pellets are also used in the production of DRI and HBI. Sign in to download full-size image.

Iron ore sintering consists of heating a layer of fines until partial melting occurs and individual ore particles fuse together. For this purpose, a traveling-grate machine is used, and the burning of fine coke (known as coke breeze) within the ore generates the necessary heat. Before being delivered to the sinter machine, the ore mixture is ...

iron ore burden is such that the ascending column of g ases interfaces with the maximum surface area of the iron ore - the higher the content of iron ore fines in the feedstock, the lower the permeability of the burden. The iron ore feedstock (pellets and lump ore) is therefore screened to remove fines before being charged to the furnace.
