Quality requirements of iron ore for iron production. L. Lu, ... D. Zhu, in Iron Ore, 2015 16.3.1.1 Background. In a DR process, iron ore pellets and/or lump iron ores are reduced by a reducing gas to produce DRI or hot briquetted iron (HBI). Depending on the generation of the reducing gas, two different DR processes are commercially available: gas-based and …
The term iron ore pellet refers to he thermally agglomerated material formed by heating a variable mixture of iron ore, limestone, olivine, bentonite, dolomite, and miscellaneous iron bearing materials in the range of 1,250 deg C to 1,350 deg C. Iron ore pellets can be made from beneficiated or run of mine iron ore fines.
The pelletization process is the primary consumer of binders in the iron ore industry. The selection of an appropriate binder type and dosage is of critical importance in producing good quality pellets at a reasonable price. Binders accomplish two very important functions in iron ore pelletization: •.
Introduction. Iron is the backbone of the world we have built around us and it is the basic ingredient of steel (iron plus carbon). Iron is a very useful metal because it can be mixed with other metals to make a …
8 mm. HPS feed consists of iron ore as pellet feed fines, return fines and iron and steel work remnants, filter dust, additives and binders like limestone, dolomite, bentonite and coal dust. These micro pellets are fed onto a sinter machine to produce sinter cake, which is then broken down and smelted in a blast furnace.
Like other sintering processes, iron ore sintering converts iron ore fines of often − 8 mm sizing into larger agglomerates, namely, sinter, between 5 and 50 mm particle size, which possess the physical and metallurgical characteristics and gas permeability required for efficient blast furnace operation.As shown in Figure 14.1, iron ore sintering …
Raw materials used for pelletizing the hematite iron ore fines are iron ore ( - 10 mm size), limestone (10–20 mm size), olivine ( - 5 mm size), anthracite coal ( - 20 mm size)
Corn starch is used to flocculate the iron-bearing minerals in Figure 4. Overview of the Tilden Mine iron ore beneficiation process, utilizing cationic reverse flotation (based on Houot 1983 ).
Iron ore pellets are small and hard spherical particles agglomerated from a fine iron ore concentrate. They are used in the blast furnace process to produce hot metal. The diameter of blast furnace …
The Direct Reduction of Iron. Thomas Battle, ... James McClelland, in Treatise on Process Metallurgy: Industrial Processes, 2014. 1.2.2.2.1.3 Pelletizing Technologies. There are two main types of pelletizer that are used to produce iron ore pellets at industrial scale, the rotary drum and the disc. Besides iron ore agglomeration, these pelletizers can also be …
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 ...
Aiming to achieve those specifications, binders and additives are used in the pelletizing process. Additives such as limestone, dolomite, and hydrated lime are used to modify the …
The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and low-grade iron …
The pelletization process is the primary consumer of binders in the iron ore industry.

limestone, sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), usually in the form of calcite or aragonite. It may contain considerable amounts of magnesium carbonate (dolomite) as well; minor constituents also commonly present include clay, iron carbonate, feldspar, pyrite, and quartz. Most limestones have a granular texture.
