The iron ore sintering process produces the main iron-bearing material for blast furnaces in most integrated steel mills. This important pre-processing technology can be viewed as a two-stage process of cold packed bed preparation followed by hot bed transformation. For the cold bed preparation, raw materials including iron ores, fluxes, fuel and return fines are blended and granulated primarily to produce granules with proper mean size, size distribution and strength. These granules are then charged onto the sinter strand to form a packed bed with optimum permeability. As the properties of the green sinter bed greatly influence the heat transfer and flame front properties in the hot bed transformation stage, which are significant factors determining the final sinter productivity and quality,1–4) more fundamental understanding of the cold bed preparation needs to Characterization of Granule Structure and Packed Bed Properties of Iron Ore Sinter Feeds that Contain Concentrate
