Shallow vs. Deep Bed Sinter Quality Comparison

Grant Writing and Grant Search for Minnesota Taconite Operations, State and Federal Department of Energy (DOE)
To provide funding to NRRI/CMRL Director and staff engineers to evaluate State and Federal DOE grant opportunities, and to work with Minnesota taconite operations to write and submit grants for energy projects in taconite.
Sinter Pot Equipment, Activation of the Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratory
To reactivate the sinter pot test equipment at the Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratory.
2009 USS Research Contract
NRRI`s Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratory (CMRL) will conduct research and development work for U.S. Steel`s Minntac and Keewatin Taconite plants in the areas of size reduction, classification, flotation, magnetic separation, filtering, balling, indurating, and pellet quality improvement. Research and development work will be conducted using bench and pilot scale equipment at CMRL in addition to in-plant test work at the mining operations plant sites.
