Iron ore pellet can be used as a substitute to sinter and calibrated lump ore in the blast furnace burden due to the following properties. Spherical shape and open pores of pellets gives better and uniform permeability resulting in smoother furnace operation. Pellets have a uniform size range generally within a range of 8 – 20 mm.
The purpose of the work was to study quality variation of raw and burned pellets, as well as metallurgical properties variation, caused by substitution of limestone by burned and slaked lime.
It is done in a mixer to achieve a homogeneous blend of iron ore, binders, and fluxing agents. The binder uses bentonite or organic binders (such as polyacrylamide). It makes the iron particles sticky, increases the strength of the pellets, and prevents breakage during pelletization. The fluxing agent uses limestone or dolomite.
The iron is usually ground to a very fine level and mixed with limestone or dolomite as a fluxing agent and bentonite or organic binders as a binding agent. If the ore is a Hematite ore, coke or anthracite coal can be added to the mix to …
Iron ore pellet making process involves balling of green mix (containing iron ore fines, binder, limestone and coke) using rotating …
The iron ore fines and concentrate cannot be directly utilized in blast furnace, and therefore, its agglomeration i.e. enlargement of particle size is necessary before it is used as feed for iron making. Sintering is one of the methods of agglomeration. All iron oxide bearing wastes and coke breeze is used for sintering purpose. The use of …

The effect of limestone on the hardening of pellets during heat treatment is studied. Procedures and results of laboratory experiments are presented. They show that the strength of pellets varies with the limestone content of iron-ore pellets produced from magnetite concentrate of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly.
Limestone and lime products are used as fluxing material both in ironmaking and in steelmaking. Basically limestone is used as a slag former, while dolomite is used as a slag former, slag modifier and as a refractory material. The process of iron making is the reduction of iron ore to produce iron.

Pellets. Sree Metaliks Limited is a leading iron ore pellets manufacturer in India with innovative techniques and vast exposure, producing top-quality iron ore pellets, which are round balls of iron ore used as raw material in steelmaking processes. The pellets are sought after by steel manufacturers for their consistent composition, high ...
The raw mix or feed to produce iron ore pellets is a multicomponent mixture of iron ores, coke breeze or coal fines, limestone or dolomite, bentonite and in some cases, iron-bearing wastes generated in the steel plant.
The pelletization process is the primary consumer of binders in the iron ore industry. The selection of an appropriate binder type and dosage is of critical importance in producing good quality pellets at a reasonable price. Binders accomplish two very important functions in iron ore pelletization: .

1.2.2.2 Agglomeration of Iron Ore. The three major forms of iron used in ironmaking are pellets, lump, and sinter. The major change in the past 50 years has been the development of cost-effective pelletization technology allowing pellets to be a major source of iron oxide for ironmaking processes. From 1965 to 1985, the percentage of iron feed ...
Our iron ore pellets and fines are made from magnetite and have high iron ore content – pellets at around 67 percent concentration and fines over 70 percent. This means they have lower impact on the environment than competing pellets and products such as sintered hematite fines.
Benefits of Pelletized Iron Ore. In addition to the factors listed above, iron ore pellets also offer a number of benefits to steel producers, some of which include: Improved productivity per cubic meter of blast furnace 1. Lower emissions and dust compared to sinter 1. Reduced requirement of coking coal. Improved handling and transportation.
