Trace elements emission in iron ore sintering: A review

Iron ore sintering is the main process of fines agglomeration for ironmaking with relevant particulate matter and trace element emissions of integrated steel plants. Due to the high environmental and human health impacts caused by trace elements, legislations are becoming more stringent for regulati...

description Iron ore sintering is the main process of fines agglomeration for ironmaking with relevant particulate matter and trace element emissions of integrated steel plants. Due to the high environmental and human health impacts caused by trace elements, legislations are becoming more stringent for regulating emissions of the trace elements.

The emission of trace elements is strongly dependent on the characteristics of raw materials, operating parameters and technologies used for their abatement. Iron ore is the main responsible material for emissions of trace elements during sintering as it undergoes a series of physicochemical transformations throughout the process.
