Iron ore pellets are a commonly used raw material for iron production from the blast furnace route. Hence, commercially supplied iron ore pellets (olivine fluxed) were used in the present work. The chemical analysis with XRF (X-ray fluorescence, Pananalytical, AxiosMax) of the raw pellets is given in Table 1. Pellets and nut coke …
Low-grade iron ores are finely ground and processed to recover iron-bearing minerals. However, the iron-rich powder is too fine to be used directly in blast furnaces and most direct reduction furnaces, and must be agglomerated or pelletized into a usable product called "pellets." Bentonite clay has traditionally been used as a binder to make …
Fines iron ore oxides are generated during mechanized mining as well as comminution, beneficiation, transportation, and agglomeration processes. These iron ore fines need to be taken care of and reused in ironmaking. The present work focuses on the utilization of those fines by agglomeration techniques and converting them into reduced …
Five iron ore agglomeration technologies can be defined: briquetting, nodulization, extrusion, pelletization and sintering. Sintering and pelletization are the most important …
Sintering is an agglomeration process that fuses iron ore fines, fluxes, recycled products, slag-forming elements and coke. The purpose of sintering is to obtain a product with suitable ...
shape ("green pellets") and burnt at a temperature between 1200 and 1300°C, resulting in hard, transportable iron ore pellets. Production of pellets is mainly carried out at the site of the mine or its shipping port. The iron ore pellets are thereafter sent to the steelwork site for use in the blast furnace. 2.2 Direct emissions and steam use
One important step of the iron ore sintering process is the raw materials preparation, which means that these materials need to be mixed and subsequently granulated. Recently, …
In steel manufacturing industry, powdered iron ore is agglomerated in a pelletizing disk to form iron ore green pellets. The agglomeration process is usually monitored using a camera. As pellet size distribution is one of the major measures of product quality monitoring, pellets detection and segmentation from the image are the …

The on-size pellets are then fed to the induration machine. Both straight grates and grate kilns dry the pellets out in a drying section, then bring the pellets up to a temperature of about 800-900 °C in a preheat zone, then finish the induration process at roughly 1200-1350 °C. The pellets are then cooled to a suitable temperature for ...

Waste iron ore fines can be agglomerated by pelletizing to form spherical pellets. Iron ore pellets with or without additives are utilized as an alternate charge material in both conventional and alternative ironmaking processes. Agglomerates in the form of hardened/sintered pellets can partially replace the iron ore lumps in blast furnaces.
There is a high demand for fully automated methods for the analysis of primary particle size distributions of agglomerated, sintered or occluded primary particles, due to their impact on material properties.
