Integral Part of the 40th Seminar for Reduction of Iron Ore and Raw Materials
SUNDAY – September 19, 2010
SINTERING PROCESS
WORK LOAD
08 hours/class
COORDINATION:
Raimundo Nonato Batista Braga – ArcelorMittal
TEACHING STAFF
Mr. Edson Luiz M. Harano
Senior expert in pig iron-related processes – ArcelorMittal Tubarão
MINI RESUMÉ
Graduated in 1980 in mining engineering by Polytechnic School of São Paulo University (USP) and specialized in environment engineering by UFES in 1999. Working at ArcelorMittal for 28 years, he worked as sintering process specialist for 26 years. He structured the sintering pilot unit and prepared mathematical models for calculation of loads and technical and economic assessments of iron ore, soldering flux and fuel; prepared conceptual studies and basic engineering for the major improvements and upgrades in the sintering plan and ore yards; was part of groups for prospection of new iron deposits/mines and of R&D projects in the sintering and raw materials area.
PURPOSE OF THE COURSE
To provide a grounded overview upon the iron ore sintering process, its relevance within the scenery of an integrated steel mill, technical and operational aspects and environment impact.
SCOPE
The present course has been conceived aiming at preparing professionals in the mining, iron ore agglomeration and pig iron production areas, providing technical, economic and operational subsides, besides environmental control upon sintering processes. The course aims at spreading know-how to the sector in order to make it able to develop its potential in a more attractive way.
The course is provided in Portuguese.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Technicians, engineers and professionals connected with the mining and steelworks segment, interested in studying the process for agglomeration of iron ore through sintering.
PROGRAM
- Introduction
- Role of the sintering unit in an integrated steel mill
- Grounds for the sintering process
- Evaluation of raw materials in the sintering process
- Unitary operations and main operating control parameters

SUSTAINABILITY IN IRONMAKING INCLUDING RECENT JAPANESE R&D TOPICS
WORKLOAD
08 hours/lesson
COORDINATION:
Beatriz Fausta Gandra - Usiminas
LECTURER
Dr. Koji Saito
Iron-making R&D Division – General Manager – Nippon Steel Corporation
LECTURER RESUME
General Manager of the Ironmaking R & D division of Nippon Steel Corp, Dr. Saito graduated in 1982 at the
Nagoya
University (). He holds a Master in chemical engineering from the
Nagoya
University (1984) and is a Doctor of Sciences from the
University of
Tohuku (1994).
He is the inventor of 60 patents, has authored and presented over 100 papers and was awarded with prizes from the Japanese Society of Physiologists Plan (1993), Japan Institute of Energy (1999, 2004) and Iron and Steel Institute of Japan (2000, 2009).
COUSE FOCUS
Provide a vision based on sustainability in the steelmaking process, its importance in the current context and present recent research topics on Ironmaking R&D division in NSC.
SCOPE
The environment surrounding the iron and steel industry has changed greatly. This paper describes the technology adopted by the Japanese iron and steel industry to cope with changes in global demand, changes in the availability of coal and iron ore resources, correspondence to equipment superannuation, and energy conservation. And also, developed several new topics in Nippon Steel Corporation are introduced. In addition, efforts to reduce the amount of exhausted CO2 due to environmental concerns are discussed.
This course was designed aiming the preparation of professionals in the steel industry with respect to sustainable developments in integrated companies for production of hot metal.
The course will be ministered in English.
TARGET PUBLIC
Engineers, Technician, Students and Professionals associated with the steel industry.
