About
It also uses steel plant's waste materials viz. LD sludge, mill scale etc (5-10%) with iron oxide microfines. The process yields a very good quality sinter even at the lower basicity that is usable in blast furnace. It increases the fines acceptability (30% above normal) improving permeability and decreases energy consumption (-20%) and flux consumption.
