Abstract
A mechanistic model of segregation on the sinter strand predicts the change in granule size distribution with bed depth and provides an index of segregation effectiveness. Combined with existing BHP models of granulation and bed permeability, this gives a technical understanding of the influence of the feed processes on sintering operations. Plant trials on strands of 208 and 420 m[sup 2], plus scaled laboratory experiments validate the model and show the limitations of conventional segregation plate feeding. Sinter pot tests also demonstrate the benefits of segregation, notably a 10% improvement in productivity with reduced coke usage.
