Gas-based direct reduction in a shaft furnace is the dominant process in the world for production of direct reduced iron. As fresh reducing gas passes through the iron ore burden, it is diluted by the gas emitted from the reacted iron ores which decreases the reduction potential of the reducing gas.
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 ...
Pelletization of iron ore fines is an important step in an integrated steel plant. It essentially involves balling of fine powders on a rotating disk or drum to produce wet pellets and induration on a moving grate to produce fired pellets. The development of a user-friendly simulation tool, virtual indurator, for induration is presented here.
A field test was systematically carried out in a traveling grate. The effects of pellet diameter, moisture, grate velocity, and inlet gas temperature on the pellet bed temperature were studied.
The sinter plant that converts the iron ore fines into a desirable blast furnace feed, offers an avenue for recycling wastes. One of the several wastes that are produced at an iron and steel plant is the undersized pellet fines, which cannot be directly used in iron making.
