Alternate carbon sources for sintering of iron ore

Objective

New alternate carbon sources for sintering (Acasos) will be investigated with the aim to substitute coke breeze. Therefore Acasos, i.e. biomass, deposited carbon rich dust, BF-dust and alternate sources as petroleum coke and anthracite will be identified, characterised and economically evaluated for replacing coke breeze.

On this basis innovative pre-treatment process, i.e. grinding, separation and agglomeration processes, will be investigated to adapt and optimise the properties of Acasos. Influences on sinter performance and quality will be determined at sinter-pot tests. Based on this Acasos will be applied in industrial scale to determine replacement factors and influences on the sintering process and emissions.
