“…Processing of complicated and heterogeneous raw materials in iron and steel industry needs their preliminary thermal processing in order to provide meeting by raw materials all required technological properties as well as homogeneity in granulometric composition, absence of hygroscopic and chemically bound water, containing of minimal amount of carbonates, gaseous and harmful impurities [3,4]. Different physical and chemical endothermic transformations conduct simultaneously at different layer heights during charge sintering in the layer [5]: moisture evaporation, firing of coke particles, dissociation of carbonates and other chemical reactions, coke burning and melting of charge particles, appearance of sintering cake, condensation of moisture vapours in the lower layers. All these processes depend on heat exchange conditions in the layer [6][7][8].…”
