The development of sustainable and energy-efficient technologies has become increasingly important due to the huge pressure associated with energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions by iron ore sinter plants. This review describes recent progress in the substitution of renewable alternative fuels, modifying the properties of solid fuels and reactant gases, and process control implementation, as well as addressing the limitations of these techniques and identifying opportunities for future research. Alternative fuels are examined including biomass, hydrogen-based gaseous fuel, and recycled carbon sources for coke breeze in iron ore sintering to address environmental and energy-saving considerations.
