Sintering has been referred to as the art of burning fuel mixed with ore under controlled conditions. It involves the heating of fine iron ore with flux and coke fines or coal to produce a semi - molten mass that solidifies into porous pieces of sinter with the size and strength characteristics necessary for feeding into the blast furnace. Iron oxides can come to the blast furnace plant in the form of sinter.

The purpose of a blast furnace is to chemically reduce and physically convert iron oxides into liquid iron called "hot metal". Now this “hot metal” is converted into steel via basic oxygen steelmaking or melting scrap steel or direct reduced iron (DRI) in an electric arc furnace.

Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries. It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Almost all (98%) iron ore is used in steelmaking. Iron ore is mined in about 50 countries. However, Iron ore is among the top five minerals found in Pakistan and the country has an estimated 1.427bn tonnes of reserves of various grades, approximately 60 - 65pc of these are reported of high grade. iron deposits are of great economic significance, but they have not been exploited on a larger scale in the country.
