Iron oxide sinter is crucial to efficient blast furnace operation. This PhD will study how chemical composition, mineralogical and microstructural variations affect sinter reduction and strength using state-of-the-art furnace simulation and in and ex situ metrology. Process conditions (e.g. gas chemistry, temperature, reactor configuration) will also be investigated to define specific test criteria representative of the Port Talbot blast furnaces. Fossil fuel alternatives will also be investigated as reductants/fuel to investigate the impact on the sinter and on gas emissions.This project will be based between the new Sintec (Simulation and integrity testing under extreme conditions) facility within the Steels and Metals Institute at Swansea University and Tata Steel Port Talbot. The project will also link with complimentary EPSRC (e.g. SUSTAIN) and doctoral projects also working to optimise future sustainable steel manufacturing. The project is also commercially important. In house sinter production provides the maximum burden flexibility since sinter can be manufactured to specification. It is therefore essential to optimise the environmental and commercial sustainability of sinter manufacturing

氧化铁烧结矿对于高炉的高效运行至关重要。该博士将利用最先进的熔炉模拟以及现场和异位计量技术，研究化学成分、矿物学和微观结构变化如何影响烧结矿还原和强度。还将研究工艺条件（例如气体化学、温度、反应器配置），以确定代表塔尔伯特港高炉的具体测试标准。化石燃料替代品也将作为还原剂/燃料进行研究，以调查对烧结矿和气体排放的影响。该项目将基于斯旺西钢铁和金属研究所内的新 Sintec（极端条件下的模拟和完整性测试）设施大学和塔塔钢铁公司塔尔伯特港。该项目还将与免费的 EPSRC（例如 SUSTAIN）和博士项目联系起来，这些项目也致力于优化未来的可持续钢铁制造。该项目也具有重要的商业意义。由于烧结矿可以按照规格制造，因此内部烧结矿生产提供了最大的装料灵活性。因此，优化烧结制造的环境和商业可持续性至关重要
