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. The present study evaluated the influence of these pellet fines on the sintering …

The objective of iron ore agglomeration is to generate a suitable product of granules in terms of thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Sintering and pelletization processes are largely influenced by the source of iron ore and the way in which the beneficiation flowsheet is adopted.

How Are Iron Ore Pellets Made? Here's a quick introduction for you on how Pellets are made. Usually, Iron Ore is manufactured and converted into Pellets. These are oval lumps of iron ore that are hardened using fuel. This process of converting iron ore into pellets is known as Pelletization. Iron Ore Pellets are then used in the production of ...

Advantages of pellets. The various advantages of iron ore pellets are given below. Iron ore pellet is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better tumbling index when compared with the iron ore and it can be used as a substitute for the iron ore lumps both in the BF and for DRI production.

Pelletizing involves addition of balling agents (bentonite or organic binder) and fluxes (limestone, dolomite, quartzite, and olivine) to the concentrated ore, balling, and heating the mixture to a temperature of about 1300°C 2) to produce 9–16 mm heat-hardened pellets (with some very minor further iron loss in pellet flue gases). Sintering ...

Commercially supplied iron ore pellets and sinter of size range 10–13 mm are utilised in the present study. Comparable to the utilisation in the industrial blast …

A blast furnace (BF) is the dominant process for making iron in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron burden materials including iron ore pellets, sinter, and lump ore. While descending in the BF the charge materials reduce. The iron‐bearing materials should reduce fast and remain in the solid form until as high a …

Acidic and fluxed iron ore pellets made of different particle sizes were directly reduced at 900–1200 °C for 30–120 min. Reduction kinetics was studied using …

sinter and pellet feed, which are exported and/or processed locally. Unfortunately, because of these material's flow behavior during heavy rainy seasons, instances of handling problems occur. Iron ore, whether coarse or fine, dry or wet, sinter feed and pellet feed tend to plug in chutes, stick on conveyors, and cake in stockpiles and silos.

Even though some research has considered all iron-bearing materials (sinter, iron ore pellets, and lump ore), the authors were not able to find researches made in temperatures which simulated the upper part of the BF shaft with a temperature range from 700 to 1000 C, with hydrogen and water vapor in the atmosphere and for all …

A low MgO content in sinter is conducive to reduce the MgO content in blast furnace slag. This study investigated the effect of MgO content in sinter on the softening—melting behavior of the mixed burden based on fluxed pellets. When the MgO content increased from 1.31wt% to 1.55wt%, the melting temperature of sinter increased to 1521°C. Such …

Nowadays, as the demand for iron ore increases together with the depletion of high grade ore deposits, mining companies have been investing to produce iron ore concentrates, such as pellet feeds ...

High grade iron ore less than 10% of the total reserves. ROM iron ore with Fe less than 58 – 60% discarded as waste. After beneficiation iron ore availability can improve by about 50%. Steel community and the country demand technological solutions for utilising low grade ores. The technology task that would be imperative: 1.

Sintering is the most widely used agglomeration process for preparing iron ore fines for blast furnace applications. We are using our expertise in iron ore sintering and evaluation of blast furnace burdens to assist industry to maximise the value of their resources, optimise product quality and reduce their environmental footprint.

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 furnace.

At present around 6–7% of iron ore slimes, out of total production, are being generated and accumulated at iron ore mine sites of National Mineral Development Corporation Limited, India. The accumulated slimes of finer size and relatively inferior grade should be utilized in an economical way for sustainable mining. These slimes can be …

A range of iron ores were used in varying proportions to prepare 28 different ore mixtures. Each mixture was classified according to its granulation index and sintered in a pilot plant. The resulting sinters were characterised by chemical analysis, degradation during reduction in the blast furnace (reduction degradation index test), cold strength (tumbler test), coke …

The reduction degradation characteristics of typical sinter, pellet and lump ore were tested with the reducing gas conditions simulating two kinds of iron-making processes. The results show that, in the same condition of gas composition and temperature, the reduction degradation degree (RDI<3.15mm of sinter is high, …

Softening and melting behaviour of the iron ore materials was studied towards understanding the mechanism of formation of liquid slag and metal phases in the pre-reduced sinter and pellets.

It is important to realize the difference between DR-grade pellets, blast furnace pellets, and lump ore to fully understand the effect of substituting materials. From research and testing in plants by iron ore companies, it has been established that the optimum composition of a DR-grade oxide pellet depends on specific plant conditions.
