The present work proposes a novel process to sinter porous iron ore (porosity ~2324%) with enhanced productivity and quality. The iron ore is preprocessed in the presence of calcined lime for the temporary closure of pores, which further prevents water absorption during the granulation process in drum in the presence of water. The calcined lime coated iron ore provides surface coating on ...
