Abstract

A novel method based on blending El-Bahareya ores together with the highly rich in iron-and impuritiesfree wastes is proposed.Several pilot scale experiments were performed in HADISOLB Company, where different weight ratios of waste and El-Bahareya ores were mixed, then sintered. The chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties of the produced sinter were determined for each set of experiments. As a result, the validity of this novel method was proved.The novel method is simply to prepare a suitable mix by blending different weight ratios of El-Bahareya ores and the W.M. to achieve the following targets: 1) An increase in the total iron content of the charge, 2) A decrease in MnO and Cl-contents in the iron bearing material, 3) A prolongation of the lifetime of El-Bahareya mines and in the limestone quarry in Bani-Khaled, 4) Prolongation in the lifetime of the sintering tray due the decrease of corrosion, and 5) To achieve better economic indices in all the related processes.
