Abstract
In this paper, the pretreatment of specularite concentrates through mechanical activation was present to improve the granulation of blends comprising some 10%-30% specularite concentrates and enhance the sintering performance. It is shown that the content of +3 mm fractions of granulation mixture and sinter mixture permeability are elevated by 10% and 35%. In the meantime, a sinter productivity increase from 1.51 to 1.62t.m-2.h-1 is attainted with similar sinter tumble index and at lower coke rate. The mechanism of the pretreatment of concentrates process to improve sintering performance was demonstrated from mineralogy analysis that better permeability and improved reactivity which help to form more calcium ferrite and good microstructure of sinter, further proven by the better metallurgical performance of sinter.
