Iron ore concentrate pellets are traditionally hardened at high temperatures in horizontal grates and grate-kiln furnaces. 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 …

Different percentages of iron content reflect both the natural variation in iron ore grades found in mine deposits and the degree of processing (if any) employed to upgrade the ore for a certain use. In general, higher purity ores help increase hot metal yields in the blast furnace, and also lower production cost by reducing the amount of …
Utilizing ultrafine iron ore concentrate for pellet production can expand domestic iron ore resources in China and promote the utilization of low-grade ores. However, a challenge arises with the low decrepitation temperature and reducibility in the preparation process of ultrafine iron ore concentrate pellets. To address the challenge, …
Iron (Fe) is a metallic element that constitutes 5.6% by weight of the Earth's crust and is the fourth most abundant element in the crust. Iron ores are rocks from which metallic iron can be economically …
Dewatering iron ore concentrates is a crucial step in enhancing their handling and transportation by removing excess water. The selection of a suitable dewatering method depends on various factors, including moisture content, particle size distribution, and downstream process requirements.
The ballability of iron ore concentrates is often poor when the value of K p is less than 0.3, and acceptable when K p is higher than 0.6. In addition to the physical characteristics of pellet feed, the balling moisture content and binder addition also have a substantial impact on the quality of green balls formed. The optimum moisture content ...
Iron ore concentrate is received from the concentrating operations where it is ground in one of 11 ball mills. The ground concentrate is then mixed with certain additives and formed into balls 9.5 mm to 12.5 mm in diameter that are dried and then fired. The plant produces a variety of pellet products – standard acid pellets; low silica acid ...
