Sintering is the most important process where iron ore fines are converted into a suitable lumpy product for blast furnace consumption. In this study, received sinter from Vizag Steel Plant, India has been used. The solid state isothermal reduction kinetics has been carried out using coke dust (treated as industrial waste) as reductant at temperature 1373K over a period of time from 5 to 90 minutes. The chemical analyses have been performed to get the degree of metallization of the reduced sinters and these data are used as input for the determination of the best fitted kinetic model. The characterizations of the reduced sinters are analyzed by XRD. The reduction mechanism is found to be contracting geometry.
