The iron ore fines with less than 10 mm size are usually fed to the sintering process, and only limited fraction (less than 20%) of − 150 micron size of iron ore fines are allowed in the sintering process. The finer sized iron ore may choke the sinter bed and hinder the uniform air suction through the bed.
