Outotec says it is launching leading-edge digital solutions to ensure the optimal operation and maintenance of iron ore pelletising plants over the entire plant life cycle.
Pelletization is one of useful processes for the agglomeration of iron ore or concentrates. However, manganese ore fines are mainly agglomerated by sintering due to its high combined water which adversely affects the roasting performance of pellets. In this work, high pressure roll grinding (HPRG) process and optimization of temperature …
Abstract and Figures. In the last years, pelletizing has been playing an important role in iron ore mining and in iron production (iron making and direct reduction). Some factors have contributed ...
Finland's Outotec has secured an order for an iron ore beneficiation and travelling grate pelletising plant for an as yet unnamed Africa project.
Understanding Pellets and Pellet Plant Operations. Pelletizing is an agglomeration process which converts very fine grained iron ore into balls of a certain diameter range (normally 8mm to 20 mm, also known as pellets. These pellets are suitable for blast furnace and direct reduction processes.
The project will deliver a direct annual CO 2 e reduction of approximately 200kt at AMMC's Port-Cartier pellet plant, equivalent to over 20% of the pellet plant's total annual CO 2 e emissions. This reduction will be achieved through a reduction in the energy required during the pelletising process.
Pelletising process involves three major steps of: i) pretreatment: mixture preparation of iron ore concentrate, coal or coke breeze, fluxes (e.g., limestone, dolomite, olivine and quartz ...
From a customer perspective, it is the behaviour of iron ores in downstream processing that give them their value; their impact on the sintering or pelletising process and subsequently blast furnace ironmaking.
The fine particle size of the resulting iron ore concentrate is better suited to pelletising than sintering, which is why almost all US iron ore is pelletised. In fact, the physical properties of the local taconite deposits actually led Cleveland Cliffs to pioneer the iron ore pelletising process in the 1950s.
The iron ore pelletizing process plays increasingly important role in BF process, because the high-grade iron ores resources dwindle in the world. So, it is necessary to grind the low-grade iron ores to finely …
The iron ore pelletizing plant begins with the grinding process, where the ore is mixed with a specific solid content and grinding balls of varying sizes. The plant has multiple ball mills, each with a considerable capacity to process the ore.
The creativity of DR plant operators, ingenuity of process suppliers, and expertise of iron ore pellet producers assure DRI products keep pace with demand.
Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slag-forming agents, and solid fuel (coke). The purpose of the sintering process is manufacturing a product with the suitable characteristics (thermal, mechanical, physical and chemical) to be fed to the blast furnace. The process …
The residence time in the pelletising machine is about one hour. Olivine is used in order to get pellets with better high-temperature properties. This paper deals with the olivine alteration during the pelletising process and the behaviour of magnesium following the decomposition of magnetite.
This production knowledge, abetted by further work on iron ore beneficiation, pelletising and DR plants, is among the most important steel decarbonisation pillars, and will greatly assist MENA's transition.
During the re-configuration of their grate-kiln induration system for the firing of iron ore pellets at the Whyalla Steelworks, caused by a change from an earthy hematite to a magnetite ore with considerably less flux, OneSteel commissioned a detailed thermal flow analysis of the design options on the existing cooler in support of the process change. A …
The process for pelletizing iron ore fines is an important operation unit for producing high quality of raw materials for the subsequent reduction processes such as blast furnace or direct reduction. The process essentially involves production of green pellets and induration on a traveling grate furnace to promote inner partial melt and …
Iron ore is the primary raw material used to make steel. Steel is strong, long-lasting and cost-efficient – making it perfect for everything from washing machines to cars, bridges and skyscrapers. According to the World Steel Association, steel is the most commonly used alloy in the world. Global ...
The partially reduced ore is then smelted in the second unit, and liquid iron is produced. Smelting-reduction technology enables a wide range of coals to be used for iron making. Iron processing - Smelting, Refining, Alloying: The primary objective of iron making is to release iron from chemical combination with oxygen, and, since the blast ...
Clear Edge have been supplying filter media into the Iron Ore industry for many years. We have worked closely with industry leaders to understand the operational demands of iron ore beneficiation from Magnetite and Hematite, concentrate and tailings de-watering as well as the iron ore pelletising process.
Organic binders have been used as alternative to bentonite in the iron ore pelletizing process mainly because it burns without leaving residue in the pellet. There are two main types of organic binders, those based on cellulose and those based on polyacrylamide structures. The purpose of this investigation was to explore how an …
The incremental iron ore demand of about 440 mt from increased DRI production could be met, assuming adequate replacement of depleted reserves. However, from the qualitative perspective, there is a potentially serious problem. This is the iron ore challenge!
Goethite present in iron ore deposits affects how your mine manages the handling and processing of ore. Failing to understand how the different textural composition of goethite impacts processing performance can lead to downtime and reduced mine efficiency. Textural classification allows mines to better predict where different types of goethite ...

Semantic Scholar extracted view of "CFD analysis of an induration cooler on an iron ore grate-kiln pelletising process" by T. Croft et al.
Iron ore pellets are largely characterized by inherent physical and chemical properties of ore as well as pelletizing conditions including induration time, induration temperature, etc. These parameters essentially vary with types of ores. The production of high-quality pellets from hematite ore is challenging because of high level of fineness …
This paper summarizes more than a decade of systematic studies of the flow field in an iron ore pelletizing rotary kiln using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on simplified models of a real kiln. Physical, laser-based experiments have been performed to validate part of the numerical results. The objective is a better understanding of the kiln …

Iron ore pellets as a solution to steel—making raw materials at the crossroad and dominant constituent of basket of iron ores available for export in the future
iron processing, use of a smelting process to turn the ore into a form from which products can be fashioned. Included in this article also is a discussion of the mining of iron and of its preparation for smelting. Iron (Fe) is a relatively dense metal with a silvery white appearance and distinctive magnetic properties.
Iron ore concentrate is used as the fresh feed of pelletising plants. The green pellet properties depend on iron concentrate characteristics such as particle size distribution (PSD), specific surface area (Blaine value), iron grade, moisture content and grinding methods. The grinding methods affects particle size distribution and Blaine …
Pelletizing is the process of converting very fine iron ores into spheres (normally 8mm-20mm in diameter), known as pellets. These pellets are suitable for both blast furnaces and direct iron reduction processes.[1][2] Iron ore pellets are manufactured by mixing beneficiated iron ore fines or natural iron ore fines …
