Progress of Sintering Technology in Handan Iron and Steel Company

As one of the biggest iron and steel companies in China, Handan Iron and Steel Co has made a substantial progress in the sintering process. The mini-pellet sintering technology has been successfully applied based on lab investigation and industrial trials. Equipment enlargement was realized through replacing small sintering strands with the construction of huge sintering machine with a grate area of 400 m 2. The productivity, iron content and the metallurgical properties of sintering process have been improved.
