The coke breeze has high fixed carbon content (83.37 wt.%) and low volatile matter content (1.57 wt.%). 2.2 Methods. The double-layer sintering process is …
— In the iron ore sintering field, the yield, productivity and tumbler index (TI) is commonly used to characterize the sinter quality [19]. The yield (%) is the proportion of the mass of the sinter with a size greater than 5 mm after crushing and screening minus 1 kg ore at the bottom of the hearth layer to the total mass of the sinter.

The operators are most concerned with the combustion process on the sinter strand, as shown in Fig. 1.
— An iron ore sintering process is the first procedure of steel-making industry. It produces sinter for feeding into the blast furnace (BF). Empirical experiences show that a 1% decrease of iron grade (TFe) in produced sinter turns into a 2% increase of BF fuel ratio and a 3% decrease of BF output (Wang, 2011).So, the TFe is an important quality index …
— The iron ore sintering, as an essential raw material treatment process of blast furnace, mainly uses coke or anthracite as a heat source and emit a large amount of greenhouse gas (Annual Conference on Sintering & Pelletizing Technology, 2022), which is not consistent with the current environmental protection requirements.
