In this paper, the effects of rare earth on the quality, metallurgical performances and mineral composition of sinter are systematically studied with sinter cup as well as the occurrence states of rare earth in different minerals of sinter are analyzed with scanning electron microscope and energy spectrum. The results showed that the sinter product ratio, utilization coefficient and drum strength tended to be increased first and then decreased, reducibility and low-temperature reduction degradation index of sinter tended to be improved first and then deteriorated, melting range was widened as well as the amount of formation for calcium ferrite in the mineral composition of sinter tended to be decreased with the proportion of rare earth increased. During the sintering process, the rare earth is into hematite, calcium ferrite and glass phase as well as it exists as columnar rare earth mineral in glass phase.
