Abstract

The assessment of selected quality parameters of sinter and the effect of the its quality on the efficiency of blast furnace process is presented. The analysis of chemical composition of sinter was conducted. As a main quality parameter sinter richness (Fe content) was selected. Then influence of sinter richness on two parameters of efficiency was calculated. The study was carried out in cooperation with a Blast-Furnace Department of a Polish steelworks and was based on the results coming from this Department. The analysis covers the period of one calendar year.
