Sintering has two reasons:
1- You want to put in the blast furnace an homogeneous mix of flux and mineral.
2- You want something with a lot of pores. So the reductor gas can make contact with a lot of surface.
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
blast furnace
its used a fuel , but has less calorific value as the carbon monoxide percentage is less which is the main combustible gas in the b.f gas. its used in heating the blast of hot air in the blast furnance itself and also can be used in rolling mill, sinter plant, and many more where you need heating
What kind of fire bricks are used for molten blast furnace slag?

Its because air is forced into the furnace to increase temperature. Steve.
Sinter, which is a mixture of iron ore, coke and limestone, and a blast of hot air. Externally to the furnace, iron ore, coke and limestone are mixed together Intimate mixing ensures that the reactants are as close as possible to each other. This is loaded into the top of the blast furnace. A blast of hot air ( ~ 1100 oC) is sent in at the bottom of the furnace, through tuyeres. The oxygen (air) is also one of the reactants. The products are tapped from the bottom of the furb=nace are liquid iron and 'slag' ( calcium silicate).
