Abstract
The chemical analysis of the calcareous mud (C.M.) was the corner stone behind the idea of replacing the limestone (L.S.) used in the sintering of el-Bahareya iron ores in the Egyptian Iron and Steel Company (Hadisolb) by the calcareous mud produced as a waste from the sugar beet companies.
Highlights
In Egypt nowadays, there are about eight sugar beet factories
Calcareous Mud (C.M.): The idea of replacing L.S. by C.M. in the sintering process is based on the chemical composition of both materials given in Table 2 [3]
In order to investigate the effect of replacement of L.S. by C.M. in the sintering process, several sintering experiments were performed, using different percentages of replacements, as mentioned previously
Summary
In Egypt nowadays, there are about eight sugar beet factories. Beside sugar they produce several byproducts. Taking into consideration both the productivity of the sintering machine and the quality of the produced sinter, the annual return for the Egyptian Iron and Steel Company (Hadisolb) as a result of using C.M. in the sintering plant instead of Limestone was estimated to be about 100 million Egyptian pounds every year, in addition to the gains of the sugar beet companies as a result of getting rid of its waste material, i.e. the C.M.
