Partial substitution of anthracite for coke breeze in iron ore sintering

Abstract In the sintering of iron ores, the partial substitution of anthracite for coke breeze has been considered to be an effective way of reducing pollutant emissions and production cost. In this study, the basic characteristics of anthracite and coke breeze were compared and the sintering perfor...
