Keywords: agglomeration, cold bonding, iron ore, pelletization Introduction Iron ore concentrate pellets are traditionally hardened (indurated) at high temperatures in horizontal grates and grate-kiln furnaces. Firing temperatures generally range from 1200– 1350u0002 C. Shaft furnaces are also used, but their pelletizing capacity is low.
Pelletization has extended the life of the iron ore industry by enabling the treatment of low-grade iron ores, which are available in large reserves throughout the world. Iron ore pelletization is a two-step process consisting of pellet production in balling circuits and pellet induration in straight-grate or grate-kiln systems.

It must be geometrically analogous to d/D for scale-up. ... Granule formation by agglomeration of damp powders. Part II: the distribution of granule sizes ...
Pelletization and iron ore reduction are accompanied by great reduction in energy and carbon dioxide emission. Enhanced rate and degree of iron ore reduction are due to secondary reactions involving carbon dioxide and the volatiles. Pellets reduced at 1550 °C show carbon dissolution up to 4 wt%, high porosity, low sulphur and slag levels.
One of the first successful applications of the technology has been in iron ore pressing prior to pelletization. Piston-and-die tests can provide good insights on the material response in an HPGR.

Its purpose is to convert iron ore fines into pellets, which are small, spherical clumps of iron ore. The pelletizing disc transforms the mixed material in green balls with a diameter < 25 mm. The green pellets shall have the required physical strength to survive the transport to the indurating machine without cracking or breaking and a minimum ...
Bentonite is the most common binder in iron ore pelletization. Bentonite has proven to be the most effective binder owing to its high water adsorption capacity and dry film strength. It is commonly used at an addition level of 0.5–1.5% by weight of iron ore. However, because of its acid constituents (SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3), it is considered as ...

1. Introduction. Bentonite is the conventional binder in iron ore pelletization and used at 0.5–1.5% addition levels in the pellet feed by weight of iron ore [1], [2], [3].It controls the moisture of iron ore concentrate in the pellet feed and improves physical properties of the wet, dry, pre-heated and fired pellets.
Abstract. The pelletization behavior of an iron ore as well as the properties of the pellets produced are affected by the various properties of the ore. The main effective ore properties are: its specific surface area, porosity, mineralogical composition, and particle size distribution of the fine material to be pelletized. The effects of these ...

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 …
