· 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 ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking. This chapter shows the status of the pelletizing process ...
The use of our pellets in steel production therefore reduces carbon dioxide emissions compared to crude iron production in sinter-based processes. Ore deposits contain various types of iron ore. The ore types are characterised by their iron oxide content, usually as either magnetite or haematite. Magnetite, Fe3O4, is magnetic, whereas haematite ...
magnetite is the principal iron mineral, the rock is called magnetic taconite; if hematite is the principal iron mineral, the rock is called hematic taconite. ... of the processed ore shipped to the iron and steel industry is in the form of pellets. Other forms of processed ore include sinter and briquettes. The average iron content of pellets ...
· Indian iron ore fines with high alumina content (~2.5% Al 2 O 3 ) resulted in poor quality pellets and a study was under taken to establish suitable pellet chemistry through proper fluxing agents. Limestone fluxed pellets were prepared at varying basicity (0 to 0.8) and pyroxenite fluxed pellets at varying MgO contents (0 to 3%) to study their effect on the metallurgical properties.
Increasing MgO content leads to more magnetite and less hematite in sinter/pellet (Lu et al.), 14) ... Calcined lime fluxed pellet shows better strength properties of pellets in absence of carbon than lime stone plus bentonite added pellet. Addition of 1% C in pellet improves CCS of limestone fluxed pellets as well as calcined lime pellets both.
· With no mill scale, daily fluxed pellet production was about 5100 tons, with 15 per cent mill scale addition, an average production rate of 6800 tons per day was achieved while the record daily tonnage of fluxed pellets was 7118 tons. Mill scale, although acceptable as a source of artificial magnetite, proved to be difficult to grind.
· High-temperature behavior of magnetite—coke composite pellet fluxed with dolomite was investigated by customized thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) at 1573 K (1300 °C). The overall reaction was influenced by C/O ratio and dolomite content. The reduction was accelerated by increased amount of dolomite, while the samples with higher C/O ratio ...
Mechanisms in oxidation and sintering of magnetite . 2008-4-9 Principal mechanisms during oxidation and sintering (dilatation) of magnetite iron ore green pellets were studied. Special attention was paid on variations in raw material fineness and green pellet porosity. Increasing fineness enhances the unwanted Duplex structures.
for non-fluxed pellets Alcotac® FE14 and FE-16 binders comprise synthetic, water soluble polyacrylamides which provide high green pellet strength at a very low use level (approx. 200 g per ton of ore, or even less). Alcotac® FE binders are added to the concentrate feed in powder form, therefore, no special mixing equipment is required on site
· 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 an increase was due to the formation of the high ...

Abstract. The U.S. Bureau of Mines, in cooperation with Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc.

· The behaviors of highly fluxed (basicity 2, 4, 6, and 8) iron ore pellets heat hardened in the temperature range 1100 °C to 1200 °C were examined and are reported here. The highly fluxed (basicity 8) pellets exhibited 103 kg/pellet crushing strength and 43.65 pct …
The olivine fluxed pellet softened gradually in the range of 1150 and 1350°C and reached 30-35% contraction. The RDs of 50-70% for acid and 50-65% for olivine fluxed pellet had no significant effect on the softening behavior. However, the highest contraction-% was reached with the lowest RD. The results indicate that softening of the pellets ...
Definition of fluxed pellet. An iron-ore pellet made by mixing minor amounts of a ground flux (forsterite, calcite, dolomite, or lime) with the magnetite or hematite concentrate to decrease smelting times and coke consumption.

Iron Ore Pellets are formed from beneficiated or run of mine iron fines. The iron is usually ground to a very fine level and mixed with limestone or dolomite as a fluxing agent and bentonite or organic binders as a binding agent. If the ore is a Hematite ore, coke or anthracite coal can be added to the mix to work as an internal fuel to help ...
· Fuel consumption is 75 M cal to 100 M cal per ton of standard pellets produced when using magnetite ore, and up to 170 M cal per ton of standard pellets produced when the feed is hematite. These fuel consumption numbers increase by 60 M cal per ton when producing fluxed pellets.

The induration process of oxidized pellet, containing the oxidation of magnetite phase (Fe3O4) and the sintering of oxidized magnetite phase (hematite–Fe2O3), is significant to obtain sufficient pellet strength. The current study focuses on the induration mechanisms of MgO flux pellet in terms of the oxidation process of Fe3O4 and densification process of the pellet.

Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe 2 O 3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH)·n(H 2 O), 55% Fe) or siderite (FeCO ...
· This means that pellets should be fired at sufficiently high enough temperature to generate liquid phases to get the sufficient strength but not so high as to cause pellets to stick. The properties of fluxed pellets were compared with the properties of iron ore lump and pellets, which are being used in blast furnace for production of iron and ...
The addition of dolomite to iron ore pellets improves high temperature reduction properties, primarily by increasing their softening point and reducibility.
