However, the sintering process accounts for an important percentage of the ironmaking and steelmaking emissions, so the minimization of them will promote environmental and health improvements as well as economical profitability. Automatic and control systems contribute to all these objectives.engjournal article10.1080/08827508.2017.1288118restricted accessHierroMineral de hierro
