Development of Large-Scale Pot Sinter Simulator with Material Segregation Charging System

Abstract

It is indispensable to construct sinter pot in large-scale and to apply material segregation charging equipment, for there exist several significant dissimilarities between practical and lab-scale sinter facilities. From the issue, sinter pot for 300 kg material mixture with segregation charging system called ‘sinter simulator’ is developed. The system allows segregated materials being charged into fixed pot with proper sequential order, according to the result of stacking properties. In this paper, it is reported that stable and proper sintering procedure is obtained, and phenomena more precise to practical process is also simulated, confirming the results of product yield recovered with core sampler.
