Improvements in Australia's iron ore resource utilisation (2017–2020)

Abstract:
The principal aims of the project are to support improved extraction and utilisation of Australia¿s iron ore resources through providing new technical information on the behaviour of the ores during iron ore sintering. Specifically, the objective is to measure the rates of chemical reactions taking place between the minerals and high temperature melts encountered in iron ore sintering. These reactions are critical in determining the microstructures formed and the resulting physical properties of the iron ore sinter. The impact of these properties on subsequent iron making process efficiency is significant and this factor markedly influences the ability of companies to efficiently use, market and sell different iron ores.
