Formulas are presented to describe the mathematical relationships between the parameters that govern the sintering of iron-ore concentrates on belt-type sintering machines. Use of the formulas makes it possible to optimize the process and automate it through computer programming. Experimental data are used to solve the equations and construct mathematical models for the agglomeration of a charge composed primarily of a mixture of Mikhailovskii and Lebedinskii concentrates. The models are of practical value for sintering such mixtures and can be used to construct similar models for the sintering of charges of other compositions.
