Improvements in Australia’s iron ore resource utilisation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to support improved extraction and utilisation of Australia’s iron ore resources through providing new technical information on the behaviour of the ores during iron ore sintering. The project will measure the rates of chemical reactions taking place between the minerals and high temperature melts encountered in iron ore sintering. These reactions are critical in determining the microstructures formed and the resulting physical properties of the iron ore sinter. Understanding the effect of these properties on subsequent iron -making process efficiency will support companies to efficiently use, market, and sell different iron ores.
