Iron ore fines need to be enlarged for better handling and transportation but also for increased permeability in the blast furnace. Briquetting is a continuous compaction process to consolidate powders into a block or briquette [2]. In briquetting, ore fines are drawn to two counter-rotating rolls and densified by high pressure from the rolls [3].

Sintering process for iron ore fines. Like other sintering processes, iron ore sintering converts iron ore fines of often −8 mm in size into larger agglomerates, namely sinter, between 5 and 50 mm in particle size, which possess the physical and metallurgical characteristics as well as gas permeability required for efficient blast furnace ...

To improve the uneven heat distribution in the conventional sintering process, injec-tion of a combustible gas in the iron ore fines sintering process was proposed to optimize energy efficiency. Castro et al. [5] stated that gas injection during iron ore sintering could improve sinter quality and reduce pollutant em issions.
