The effect of return sinter fines, basicity and other variables on the yield of sinter and speed of sintering has been evaluated through the pot sintering experiments designed statistically and empirical equations have been established, An optimum level of basicity ratio and that of return fines input have been observed for the strand productivity. The basicity ratio and coke breeze content are inter-influenced: greater amount of coke breeze helps in productivity improvement when sintering is carried out at higher basicity level. A greater amount of return fines in the mix (through screening out the-5 mm size. fraction from the sinter at blast furnace and its recirculation) decreases the throughput of the fresh material on the sintering strand. However, part of loss is compensatedby a simultaneous increase in the yield of sinter.

Pelletisation experiments were conducted with the iron ore concentrates (Fe = 65.1%) of varying mesh of grind having the -45 micron size constituents 71, 81 and 93 wt.% respectively. The crushing strength (CS) of the green pellets as well as heat hardened ones was determined.

The CS of heat hardened pellets improved considerably with the concentrate which has undergone very fine mesh of grind even at lower bentonite consumption. Besides, minor amount of flux and coke could be incorporated during the course of pelletisation. Further grinding of bentonite did help in the improvement of CS.

The crushing strength of the heat hardened pellet was correlated with its mineralogy. Typically a significant change in the mineralogy was observed with reference to core, intermediate and outer layers of the pellet which signifies a heterogeneous and, in some cases, a weaker pellet. .

Key words: pelletisation, different mesh of grind, bentonite, green pellet, heat-hardening.

These ores had LOI content 3.8% and 2.9% and +6.3 mm content 45% and 26% respectively. Sinter basicity (CaO/SiO2) and MgO content were varied in the 2.1-2.5 and 1.4% to 1.8% range, respectively according to the blast furnace requirement.
