Sintering process is a commonly used pre-treatment process for iron containing burden materials with an aim to produce porous, agglomerated sinter material with suitable properties to be charged into the blast furnace. During the sintering process the material undergoes a series of reactions, during which the conditions vary considerably. These changes in temperature and state of oxidation cause changes in the mineralogical composition of the material and although the sintering process does not completely reach the chemical equilibrium, it is important to understand the phase equilibria of the sinter system in order to analyse and control the effect of various factors on the sintering process.
