Abstract
Comprehensive numerical simulation model was developed to describe the structural changes in the iron ore sintering bed by using the discrete element method (DEM). The heat wave propagation through the sintering bed was incorporated by combining the solutions of the various reaction rates and gas-granule heat transfer with the calculation of the granule movement by DEM. Simulations were conducted under different conditions, i.e., different carbon content and melting temperature of the granules. Results show that both carbon content and melting temperature of the granule influence the final structure of the sintering bed. The obtained structural change of the sintering bed show that the proposed model is a potential tool to analyse the agglomeration phenomena occurring in the iron ore sintering process under various conditions.
