The metallurgical and chemical tests results showed that good quality product pellets can be produced with combined binders when compared with the bentonite-bonded pellets. Hence, the suggested combined binders can be used as binder in place of bentonite in iron ore pelletizing without compromising the pellet chemistry.
The pelletization process is a vital part of the concentration of iron ore in the United States (Meritt, 1965;Society of Mining Engineering, 1966;Meyer, 1980;Mourão, 2008), South America (Stetler ...
During the induration process of pelletization of high LOI iron ores, numerous cracks generate at the surface and within the matrix resulting in an increased fine generation. It is attributed to the evaporation and escape of combined water of hydrated iron minerals. ... Goethite contains LOI in the form of chemically bonded water. The weight ...
However, heat induration requires tremendous quantities of energy to produce high-quality pellets, and is consequently expensive. Cold bonding is a low-temperature alternative to heat induration. Pellets can be cold bonded using lime, cement, sponge iron powder, and organic materials such as starch and flour.
Plate water absorption has been traditionally used to assess the binding ability of bentonite clay binders for iron ore concentrate pelletization. Until 1997 there was an accepted test by ASTM ...

Acid pellets are bonded through diffusion between recrystallized hematite grains, while fluxed pellets are bonded via both recrystallization and diffusion of Fe 2 O …
Characterization of fired pellet revealed that the silicate slag was fused and bonded with hematite ... The heat hardening by oxidation is a process commonly used in iron ore pelletization process ...
This study investigated the use of coal bottom ash (bottom ash) and CaO-CaCl2-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) binder in the manufacturing of artificial fine aggregates using cold-bonded pelletization. Mixture samples were prepared with varying added contents of bottom ash of varying added contents of bottom ash …
Study of cold bonding pellets in laboratory. 1) Raw materials – iron ore ground to desired size (85% -200 mesh) is pelletized by a pelletizing disc with a diameter of 1000mm. The chemical components of raw materials used are shown in Table 1. 2) Results of experiments. a) Storage method of green pellets – Green pellets reach the desired ...
Pelletization of iron oxide adsorbents has never been reported among the adsorbents described to date. Therefore, H2S capture in two iron oxides (ferric oxide (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4)) was ...
A compressive pelletization study, for the utilization of an Indian Banded Hematite Quartzite ore, is presented in this communication. Iron ore concentrates have been generated utilizing the ...
A bentonite has been using as a binder to iron ore pelletization from very beginning. It gives excellent binding property to green and dry pellet properties. However several drawbacks of bentonite have been observed such as an impurity due to its acid oxide contents. ... The phase identification of both developed pellets and bentonite bonded ...
Pelletizing is the technique of rolling fine-grained iron ore concentrates with adequate size distribution into small balls of the desired size using a wetting …
Pellets can be cold bonded using lime, cement, sponge iron powder, and organic materials such as starch and flour. Cold bonding consumes less energy than …
The iron ore pelletizing process consists of three main steps: Pelletizing feed preparation and mixing: the raw material (iron ore …
Iron/iron ores. Organic binders. 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.".
Some factors have contributed to this fact as follows: the depletion of high grade iron ore reserves, the great Chinese iron ore demand, the accelerated growth of direct reduction, the better...
well with actual pelletization performance. Key words: Bentonite binder, Pelletization, Strength test, Taconite processing Introduction Bentonite clay is used to bond iron ore concentrates into pellets. The clay is a significant cost item, with individual plants spending US$3 to 5 million for bentonite annually.
Cold bonded pelletization of iron ore fines using ordinary portland cement binder is emerging as a potential energy saving agglomeration process for proper utilization of Indian iron ore fines. The possibility of substituting ordinary portland cement/clinker by cheaper low grade Indian granulated blast furnace slag is investigated. The strength ...
Nowadays, the cold bonded pelletizing technique is widely used to recycle industrial waste powders for producing artificial aggregates for application in concrete, and the raw materials (powder level) used are extended to various waste powders in recent years, such as iron ore fines (Dutta et al., 1997a), coal fly ash (Gesoğlu et al., 2007 ...
