Sintering is a series of complex physical and chemical reactions, and through a series of processes, a mixture of iron ore, limestone, coke and the like is made into sinter with strong reducibility, suitable composition, good permeability, reasonable particle size and suitable mechanical strength. Sintering production is the second energy-consuming link in the steel industry after blast furnace ironmaking. Energy consumption in sintering production mainly reflects in coke, coal gas and electric energy, of which coke powder accounts for about 80%. Therefore, ensuring the stability of the sintering process can greatly reduce the sintering energy consumption, and thus realize green manufacturing.
