In this study, a three dimensional full scale model for iron ore sintering process with flue gas recycling system is established. By using the experimental parameters, the simulation results show good agreement with the measured data in the work field, so the model results can provide considerable information. The simulation results show that the concentration of CO and CO_2 in flue gas decrease, but O_2 increases, with the reduction in coke, As the water content reduces, the concentration of H_2O decreases, but the sintering speed increases. As the mass flow rate of flue gas through the sintering bed is increased by 10 kg/s, the sintering process can finish earlier by 1/2 bellow distance. In addition, by using the mass flow rate, induced by the draught fan, about 75% of the measured value in simulation, the sintering process ends at the 17^(th) bellow, which is the same 1℃ation in the sintering process. In addition to the measurement errors, the cause of the difference may also be attributed to the airtightness of gas flow ducts, especially the gap between the moving sintering bed and bellows.
