Abstract

Based on a mechanistic understanding of the factors affecting the growth of granules, a mathematical model of the granulation process has been developed. The model predicts the final granule size distribution based on the feed size distribution, the quantity of water added and physical properties of the feed. There was good agreement between the model and laboratory results for a wide range of ore types and feed size distributions. The model can be used to compare quantitatively the granulating ability of different ore blends, and to study the sensitivity of granulation to changes in the sinter feed mix.
