Abstract

This article presents the results obtained with the dedusting system of the primary mixer's stack, existing in ArcelorMittal Monlevade's Sintering Plant – João Monlevade Plant. The dust is collected by means of a recently installed ElectroStatic Precipitator (ESP). The primary mixer's wet gas is heated with gases from the sinter cooler and, then, introduced in the precipitator inlet duct. The innovation here is the use of hot gases from the cooler to achieve this objective and to adapt the mixture for collection in the ESP.
