摘要

Sintering is a critical process in steel production that facilitates the efficient utilization of iron ore resources. However, compared to advanced sintering technologies, China’s sintering methods still exhibit high energy consumption, with typical solid fuel consumption for sintering of about 55 kg/t. In response, a pellet sintering process has been developed and its behavior has been investigated at sintering bed heights of 750 and 1500 mm. Additionally, a technical and economic comparison with traditional sintering methods has been conducted. The results indicate that at a bed height of 750 mm, the pellet sintering method can significantly reduce solid fuel consumption by approximately 30.82%, dropping from 70.75 to 48.95 kg/t. Additionally, the coke rate decreased from 4.55% to 3.20%, and harmful emissions in the flue gas were also reduced. As the bed height increases to 1500 mm, sintering performance improves even further. The coke rate is reduced to 3.00%, and solid fuel consumption decreases to 41.27 kg/t, approaching the world’s advanced level (≤ 40 kg/t). Technical and economic analysis also indicates that adopting the pellet sintering process can lower sintering costs by about 2.18 dollars/t.
