<p>To obtain good sintering performance, it is crucial to understand the sintering properties of manganese ore fines. The sintering properties, including the chemical composition, granulation, and high-temperature behaviors of ores from Malaysia, South Africa, and Australia, have been investigated. The results indicate that, in terms of chemical composition, Australian ores exhibit high TMn, low Fe₂O₃, and low CaO content. Regarding granulation, Australian manganese ore fines have a higher particle size distribution, and increasing the proportion of Australian ore fines can enhance the permeability of the mixture. Concerning high-temperature properties, ores from Malaysia, South Africa, and Australia display different characteristics. Malaysian manganese ore shows better liquid fluidity, while Australian manganese ore demonstrates superior bonding phase strength. Additionally, the result of the sintering pot experiment confirms that increasing the proportion of Australian manganese ore in the sintering mixture improves the tumble index of the sintered product and reduces the amount of coke breeze required. Based on the analysis of each ore’s sintering properties, an ore blending scheme is recommended (South Africa NFM ores 4% + South Africa NFC ores 12% + Malaysia ores 39% + Australian ores 36% + sintering dust 9%).</p>
