Our heavy-duty iron ore balling drums are relied on by some of the industry’s top producers to process iron ore fines into pellets for the steelmaking process. The use of a disc pelletizer is a popular alternative approach to pelletizing iron ore fines, as this offers more control over pellet size and produces a more refined pellet product.
In the present pelletizing apparatus, the induration of iron ore concentrate pellets is achieved in a tunnel furnace heated by plasma torches, wherein the generation of CO2 by the conventional iron ore pelletizing processes is reduced by using electricity powered plasma torches instead of burning natural gas, heavy oil or pulverized coal in burners, thereby reducing considerably industrial ...

Mar 03, 2017 The other option is to convert the iron ore and coal/coke fines into composite pellets/briquettes. By producing iron ore-coal/coke composite pellets/briquettes from iron ore and coal/coke fines, utilization of these fines takes place as well as new feed materials are generated for iron and steel making.
The apparent porosity values of iron ore lumps and pellets were determined by the hot test boiling water (HTBW) method (Chesters 1973). 2.4 Preparation of Iron Ore Pellets The pellets ( size: 15 mm dia. approx. ) were made by prolonged hand rolling of moistened (12% water) iron ore fines of -100 mesh size. The pellets were dried at
The free swelling test determines the volume increase of iron ore pellets during reduction. When pellets were first introduced, a swelling tendency led to damage to the BF stack, poor permeability to gas flow, and irregular burden descent. The test does not apply to lump ore or sinter.
Iron ore fines are converted to iron by the following route: Fines Pellets Reduction to metallic Fe Therefore, the process of formation of pellets has to ensure that its product has required properties to perform as desired during the stage of reduction. This thesis, and the work done as recorded, aims at identifying the optimum values
Sep 24, 2019 The generation of fines from iron ore due to internal pressure developed from the evaporation of moisture or phase transformation (28% increases in volume) has a harmful effect on induration of pellets and blast furnace performance. Such behavior of iron-bearing materials is evaluated by thermal degradation index.

Besides, these mines supply iron ore to sponge iron and mini pig iron
The iron ore used presents a low MgO content (0.01%) and a high Al2O3 content (2.99%). It was seen that raising the MgO content in the sinter, from 1.4 to 2.6%, increased the FeO content and decreased productivity and the RI, RDI and TI indices [13]. 2.1.4.
Nov 26, 2014 Iron Ore Pellets and Pelletization Process. Pelletizing of iron ore was started in the 1950s to facilitate the utilization of finely ground iron ore concentrates in steel production. For the pelletizing of iron ore there are two main types of processes namely, the straight travelling grate (STG) process and the grate kiln (GK) process.
Iron Ore Pelletization is an agglomeration process of the disintegrated Iron Ore fines into Iron ore Pellet which is suitable for the utilization of downstream process of Iron Making. The GPIL Process is the Ore ground to the required fineness through wet grinding process mainly by Ball Mills and the slurry is dewatered by pressure filtration ...
Iron ore sintering consists of heating a layer of fines until partial melting occurs and individual ore particles fuse together. For this purpose, a traveling-grate machine is used, and the burning of fine coke (known as coke breeze) within the ore generates the necessary heat. Before being delivered to the sinter machine, the ore mixture is ...

May 12, 2021 The miner produced 2.71 million tonnes of high-grade iron ore pellets in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 2020’s first-quarter total of 2.73 million tonnes. Decarbonization
Oct 24, 2013 Gallery with 12 images The Flow of Raw Materials. The production of steel requires various raw materials such as coal, coke, iron ore, flux, mill scale, sinter etc. and they undergo processes like unloading, stacking, reclaiming, blending, crushing, grinding and screening and are finally conveyed to the sinter plant, coke oven battery and blast furnace.
Description / Application / Shipment - Storage / Risk factors. Direct-reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets or fines) by a reducing gas produced from natural gas or coal.The reducing gas is a mixture majority of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) which acts as reducing agent.
The ITmk3 separates nugget iron and slag directly from the iron ore fines and pulverized coal. We regard ITmk3 as the 3rd generation iron-making process, whereas the current mainstream process of blast-furnace/converter is the 1st generation and the direct reduction process such as MIDREX is the 2nd generation. The process is
iron can be fed, not only into a blast furnace, but also directly into a melting process. Fig. 1 shows a typical flow of the FASTMET process. The FASTMET process includes mixing steel mill waste consisting mainly of fine ore (i.e., iron oxide) with pulverized coal, agglomerating the mixture into pellets or briquettes using a pelletizer or

Cold-bonded composite pellets, consisting of iron ore fines and fines of noncoking coal or char, were prepared by steam curing at high pressure in an autoclave employing inorganic binders. Dry compressive strength ranged from 200 to 1000 N for different pellets. The pellets were heated from room temperature to 1273 K under flowing argon at two heating rates.

Cleveland-Cliffs’ DR-grade pellets are 67.3% Fe and 2% silica, which are purer than standard iron ore pellets, and are tailor-made for HBI production. Metallics
Iron ore concentrate pellets have the potential to fracture and abrade during transportation and handling, which produces unwanted fine particulates and dust. Consequently, pellet producers characterize the abrasion resistance of their pellets, using an Abrasion Index (AI), to indicate whether their products will produce unacceptable levels of fines.

Jun 11, 2014 Dear All, We have a Midrex Sponge Iron plant producing cold DRI. Since some days we are noticing fire in DRI dust. The temperature stays normal at the furnace discharge but when the product gets transferred after moving through a belt for around 200 meters to another belt the DRI dust catches fire. It is happening again and again. We have started using some new pellets since some days but …
