BF-BOF route employs a blast furnace (BF) to reduce the iron ore to molten iron and subsequently refined to steel in a basic oxygen furnace (BOF). As the dominant technology for primary steelmaking, BF-BOF route produced 71% of global crude steel production, over 1279 million tons in 2018 [(Worldsteel Association, 2019]].
Abstract. Sintering is the most economic and widely used agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use. Owing to the depleting reserves of traditional high grade iron ore, there have been considerable changes in iron ore resources available throughout the world, especially in steel mills in East Asia.

The iron ore sintering dust was selected from a steel company in Jiangsu province, China. Their particle size compositions are shown in Table 1. Their particle sizes were fine, most were under 200 mesh (less than 0.074 mm). ...
To alleviate the strain on the extensive demand for iron sources, reduce the cost, and transition towards greener metallurgy, iron-bearing wastes like blast furnace dust and sinter dust, along with alkali metal-rich or lead-rich iron ores, are recycled through the iron ore sintering process [1,2,3,4,5].This practice, however, elevates the …
However, the BF process relies heavily on metallurgical coke and involves cokemaking and sintering operations, which often attract serious environmental concerns. ... Blast furnace uses iron ore as the iron-bearing raw materials, and coke and pulverized coal as reducing agents and heat source, lime, or limestone as the fluxing agents.
Depending on the zinc content, the main methods include iron ore sintering, blast furnace recovery, or converter recovery. If the zinc content in the zinc extraction residues is sufficiently low, direct return to the blast furnace is feasible. Otherwise, the residues can be reused by returning them to sintering or converter processes for zinc ...

Nitrogen oxides in iron ore sintering 2.1. Emission characteristics. It has been determined that it is almost impossible to replicate technologies of low NOx combustion from other industries for iron ore sintering. Sintering is distinct from a coal-fired furnace, as it involves the three-way coexistence of gas, solids, and liquids.
Iron ore sintering entails high energy consumption and also produces significant pollution, responsible for the highest share of CO 2 emission, as well as SO 2 and NOx emissions, in the iron and steel production processes. 5 The SO 2 and NO X emissions from this process account for ∼70% and ∼40% of the total iron and steel …
