Future Trends and Technologies
摘要
This chapter seeks to evaluate the future scope and the transitioning trends of iron ore sintering technology. It starts by addressing several key developments made in the iron ore sintering processes, including measures enacted in the quest to become more efficient, lower emissions, and enhance the quality of the products. In this regard, the chapter anticipates expecting changes towards improvement of the equipment, materials, and methods including new technologies such as more automation, new fuels, and modern sintering. It also investigates the wider steel industry’s sinter plants concerning these innovations and changes in the industry, explicitly in terms of environment, economy, and international market position. Finally, the chapter presents some of the issues for future study and encourages synergy among the stakeholders to foster a generation of new ideas that will help to meet the changing requirements in Sintering. This futuristic approach is well-suited for professionals and researchers who have the objective of enhancing the future use of iron ore sintering.
