Objective
Sinter plants have an important role to play in the conservation of raw materials through the use of fine irons and the recycling of ferruginous by- products from iron- and steel-making processes. The research intends to: determine the optimum materials composition and process conditions to minimise the formation of trace organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans) without sacrificing productivity or product quality; to develop methods for treating revert materials so that they can be recycled in the sintering process with minimal environmental impact; to investigate the use of selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia. The results of this project are expected to favourably influence the environmental impact of sinter plant effluents.
