What are iron ore pellets Iron ore pellets are spheres of typically 8 16 mm to be used as feedstock for blast furnaces They contain 64 72% iron and additional materials which can adjust the chemical composition and metallurgical properties of the pellets The iron ore pelletization is the process of converting iron fines less than 200 mesh
Direct reduction DR of iron ore with hydrogen is a potential route for near zero CO2 steelmaking but vertical shaft DR reactors require that iron ore fines must first be pelletized
This was the first iron ore pelletizing plant installed for Wuhan Iron & Steel Company Equipment Specifications Traveling Grate 5664 mm x 69500 mm Rotary Kiln 6858 mm diameter x 45720 mm long Annular Cooler 21945 mm x 3657 mm Plant Commissioning March 2006 Iron Ore Feed Material Combination of 80% Hematite and 20% Magnetite
Fine crushed limestone is used as a flux in iron ore sintering It adjusts the overall basicity of the iron burden and plays a vital role in the formation of slag in the blast furnace process the mixture is sent to a disc or a pelletization drum The result is an 8 to 18 mm diameter pellet that is burned at approximately 1 350°C to
The majority of iron ores must be ground to a fine particle size to allow the iron oxides they contain to be concentrated and the concentrate must then be agglomerated back into large enough particles that they can be processed in blast furnaces The most common agglomeration technique is pelletization which requires the use of binders to hold the iron

Claremboux et al [14] and Sivrikaya et al [15] studied on different organic binders in iron ore pelletization and concluded that these binders incorporated sufficient properties in iron ore pellets
The beneficiation of low grade iron ores is a key research and development topic in the mineral processing industry The gradual exhaustion of high grade iron ore reserves and rising consumer iron and steel demand globally necessitate efficient low quality iron ore beneficiation to meet steelmaking quality requirements This comprehensive review explores
During the process of iron ore pelletization and preparation of feed for DRI or reduction smelting processes around 3% of pellet fines less than 8 mm are generated as undesired product in the
What Is Iron Ore Pelletization Process The process of pelletization begins with the use of finely powdered grains of iron ore These grains are then converted into balls This iron ore concentrate is next heated and dried over high temperatures The next step involves grinding this dried residue with the addition of Bentonite which is a
The mechanism of chemisorptions and compound molecule bridged linkage by organic complex bentonite to improve the pelletization of iron ore concentrates was demonstrated by the determination of X

FLOFORM Iron Ore Pelletization FLOFORM an alternative Traditionally bentonite is used as binder but it reintroduces deleterious elements such as silica and alumina FLOFORM is typically dosed at % prior to balling about 1/20th of Bentonite Depending on the quality of iron ore a dual binder system comprising both
Process flexibility Pelletization process There are two main processes for producing iron ore pellets The Grate Kiln system and the straight grate system In the straight grate system a continuous parade of grate cars moves at the same speed

The balling is done in large balling drums using water together with an external binder as a binding media The wet green pellets are then dried and sintered in the pelletizing machine Effects of bentonite fiber formation in iron ore pelletization Int J Miner Process 65 2002 pp 141 149 View PDF View article View in Scopus Google
long term tests may not reflect the true behavior of bentonite during iron ore pelletization Third the tests are tedious and the results are often inconsistentfordifferent iron ore concentrates laboratories and technicians Fourth some of the testing equipment is difficult to procure Fifth procedures are often difficult to

Pelletization is the unit operation of agglomerating moist particulate materials by tumbling them in horizontal rotating drums or inclined discs Pelletization has extended the life of the iron ore industry by enabling the treatment of low grade iron ores which are available worldwide in large reserves
need for pelletization of the iron ore 1 Steep rise in the prices of raw materials for DRI & Pig Iron production 2 Good productivity product quality and reasonable campaign life is very important amongst fi erce competition and low grade iron ore availability 3 To meet ever increasing demand for iron ore with growth
Pelletization is a method of agglomeration used to turn fine fractions of iron ore into an adequate product pellet to be fed to blast furnaces and direct reduction reactors where it will be reduced to pig iron or sponge iron Binder must be added to the pelletization mixture to raise the liquid phase viscosity inside the capillary
Bentonite is the traditionally used binder in iron ore pelletization However it consists of up to 85% silica and alumina which are undesired acidic gangue in iron making
