morePellet-Sinter composite agglomerate (P-SCA) is a mass containing acid pellet and basic sinter. In this study, the green pellets (10-15 mm), made up of Noamundi iron ore fines (2150 Blaine No) were mixed with a basic sinter mix of same ore of coarser size (-10 mm). A good quality P-SCA with 27% RDI, 91% shatter index and 70% RI could be developed. The normal (usual) sintering without pellet in identical conditions has also been carried out and the sinter quality has been compared with developed P-SCA. It has been found to consume lower amount of coke breeze and pyroxenite for achieving similar quality of P-SCA wth lower overall basicity. Fines acceptance capacity has also been improved by 30% with respect to the normal sintering.
