Funded Activity Summary

Improving iron ore agglomeration by studying underlying mechanisms using experimental studies and dimensional analysis. The revenue from Australia's iron ore exports is currently worth over $15 billion. Over 80% of the shipped ores are fines (ie material smaller than 9mm), which have to be sintered to produce a lumpy product prior to reduction and smelting in iron making blast furnaces. An understanding of this process at the fundamental level is essential for enhancement of the nation's technological standing with our key trading partners - that is, to enable Australian iron-ore exporters to become 'knowledgable' suppliers. In addition, local iron-making industries will gain direct economic benefit from the improved sintering processes developed.
