Iron oxide sinter is crucial to efficient blast furnace operation. This PhD will study how chemical composition, mineralogical and microstructural variations affect sinter reduction and strength using state-of-the-art furnace simulation and in and ex situ metrology. Process conditions (e.g. gas chemistry, temperature, reactor configuration) will also be investigated to define specific test criteria representative of the Port Talbot blast furnaces. Fossil fuel alternatives will also be investigated as reductants/fuel to investigate the impact on the sinter and on gas emissions.This project will be based between the new Sintec (Simulation and integrity testing under extreme conditions) facility within the Steels and Metals Institute at Swansea University and Tata Steel Port Talbot. The project will also link with complimentary EPSRC (e.g. SUSTAIN) and doctoral projects also working to optimise future sustainable steel manufacturing. The project is also commercially important. In house sinter production provides the maximum burden flexibility since sinter can be manufactured to specification. It is therefore essential to optimise the environmental and commercial sustainability of sinter manufacturing

铁氧化铁烧结物对于有效的高炉操作至关重要。该博士将研究化学成分，矿物学和微结构变化如何使用最先进的炉模拟以及在现场计量学上影响烧结的减少和强度。还将研究工艺条件（例如气体化学，温度，反应堆构型），以定义代表塔尔伯特港口爆炸炉的特定测试标准。化石燃料的替代品还将作为还原剂/燃料研究，以研究对烧结和气体排放的影响。该项目将基于斯威奇大学钢铁和金属学院的新SINTEC（在极端条件下的模拟和完整性测试）之间的基于该项目。该项目还将与免费的EPSRC（例如维持）和博士项目联系起来，还致力于优化未来的可持续钢制造业。该项目在商业上也很重要。在房屋烧结中的生产可提供最大的负担灵活性，因为烧结物可以制造为规格。因此，必须优化烧结制造的环境和商业可持续性
