Abstract
In this research, the replacement of fossil fuel energy (coke) with oil palm empty fruit bunch as a potential energy in sintering of iron ore was investigated. Carbon derived biomass has been produced by using oil palm empty fruit bunch by heat treatment process. In the present investigation, sintering process was carried out by heating the mixed iron ore and biochar at various temperatures. The apparent density and porosity for iron sinter show a significant increase and gradual decrement as the temperature increase, respectively. The porosity of iron sinter shows a gradual decrement from 950 °C to 1050 °C but up to 1150 °C it shows a significant decrement about 44%. Inferring to the micrograph, the agglomeration and assimilation of sinter at high temperature is better compared with low sintering temperature.
