Ground Sinter Trial By QA–PI Team
An extensive Ground Sinter Trial was conducted by the QA–PI team to scrutinize changes in the various
physical and chemical parameters of the Sinter Plant over the course of time. The main purpose of the trial
was to identify the duration for which Sinter can be stored and still be suitable as a burden in the Blast
Furnace. The trial lasted for almost a month and parameters such as Reduction Degradation Index (RDI),
Chemical Composition, Tumbler Index, etc. were monitored every 3-4 days.
The trial was done on two separate sinter lots:
• Normal Lot (Lower basicity and FeO content)
• Special Lot (Higher basicity and FeO content)
