Abstract
Disclosed is a method for reducing the dioxin content of the off-gas in operating a sintering plant, in which prior to sintering a material catalytically active in decomposing dioxins and in the form of fine grains or dust is admixed. The admixed catalytically active material prevents the fresh formation of dioxins and reduces the content of dioxins in the off-gas flowing through the material for sintering. The catalytically active material) is incorporated in the agglomerate of material for sintering which is forming and can be disposed of reliably and without danger via the slag formed in the following blast-furnace process.
