The limestone addition, i.e. basicity–CaO/SiO 2 of pellet decides the mode, temperature and the amount of melt formed. The properties of the pellets are, therefore, largely governed by the form and degree of bonding achieved between ore particles and also by the stability of these bonding phases during the reduction of iron oxides.
In order to produce high-quality pellets with good reducibility and superior softening and melting properties, certain additives are important. One of the most common fluxing materials for iron ore pellet production is limestone, which is mainly calcium oxide (CaO). In this study, the effect …

Pelletizing of iron ore was started in the 1950s to facilitate the utilization of finely ground iron ore concentrates in steel production. For the pelletizing of iron ore there are two main types of processes namely, the straight travelling grate (STG) process and the grate kiln (GK) process. In the STG process, a stationary bed of pellets is ...
Owing to the increase in limestone addition, the weight loss of the high-basicity pelletizing mixture was even more pronounced. In addition, there were two phase change endothermic peaks on the differential scanning calorimetry curve of the high-basicity (1.2) pelletizing mixture.

The pellets are prepared in a lab without and with 0.2% colemanite and varying amounts of CC from 0 to 1.0 wt% in steps of 0.2%. A reference pellet is prepared under typical plant conditions, and the properties of the …
Limestone fluxed iron ore pellets are reduced in CO-rich atmosphere generally accompanied by swelling behavior. If the reduction swelling index (RSI) exceeds the normal range (≥20%), it will ...
The Nordic ferrous burdens consist of almost pellets plus briquettes and trim additives. 4) The elimination of sintering resulted in a net gain in energy efficiency in the chain from mine to steel which we have described in an earlier work. 5) In addition, the dominant source of iron ore for pelletizing and sintering is very high grade.

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 ...

Pelletizing differs from other agglomeration techniques in that the powdered ore is first formed into a "green" pellet or ball, which is then dried and hardened in a separate step, usually by heating. Green pellets are made by combining moist ore with a binder and rolling it into balls using either a pelletizing disk or a pelletizing drum.
characteristics of iron ore itself. Generally, the higher iron content of pellets have the higher reducibility and the higher clustering tendency. Remark: Addition of lime (hydrated lime or limestone) and/or dolomite to iron ore results in lower clustering tendency of pellets and higher compression strength of sponge iron. e) Reducibility
