Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for the sintering of an ore using gaseous fuel. A layer of noncombustible particulate mineral material is arranged on a supporting grate, and hot fumes derived from gaseous fuel are passed downwardly through the layer of material. The temperature of the hot fumes is sufficient to initiate fusion or sintering of the mineral material. Predrying, sintering and cooling means are provided along the length of the supporting grate in order to effect the desired sintering.
