It has been found that the surfactants use provides improved granularity of sinter charge and increase of its gas permeability during sintering that ensures better technology and quality. Maximum efficiency from the surfactants use is manifested in the area of optimum moisture content of the sinter charge (7 % - 8 %) at a flow rate of the experimental binder of 1,2 l/h - 1,6 l/h (the surfactant concentration in the aqueous solution is 0,3 ml/l - 0,4 ml/l).enArticle
