It is envisaged that the higher swelling index reduces the strength of the pellets and causes abnormal blast furnace operation. Pellet basicity is known to affect the swelling properties of the pellet [11, 13]. Normally, to limit the swelling and improve the strength of the fluxed pellets, slightly higher sintering temperature is required.

Effect of pellet size on tumbler
Pellets are unquestionably the most engineered Blast Furnace ferrous burden available. This allows the pellet maker to design pellets to meet different requirements with respect to medium and high ...
However, sinter and pellets are two dominant blast furnace burdens. Indian iron ores are friable in nature, and this leads to the generation of fines during various stages of mining. These fines were of no use and usually get exported at very fewer values because of their unsuitability for blast furnace operations until sintering came into the ...
The article describes the concept of partially replacing the sinter in a blast furnace charge with extrusion briquettes to form the basis for sintering and briquetting synergy. The comparability criteria for sinter and extrusion briquette (brex) properties and production parameters were analyzed along with a substantiation of the fundamental …
Effect of nut coke addition with ferrous burden (pellet and sinter mixture) is experimentally investigated under simulated blast furnace conditions. Nut coke mixing degree was varied (0, 20 and 40 ...
Maximum allowable swelling of pellets for the blast furnace ranges from 16 % to 18 %. Acid pellets (DRI pellets) and MgO free pellets exhibit higher swelling. ... It is conventional to represent the bulk composition of complex oxide materials, such as iron ore pellets, iron sinter, minerals, ores, and refractory products, in terms of the simple ...
Pellet growth is controlled by the small amount of water sprayed in the disc and the adjustment in the disc rotational speed. These pellets are called green pellets as they do not have the required strength. The green pellets are then screened in a roller screen and the required size material is fed to the traveling grate of a pelletizing machine.

A total of 5 pot trials
lump (>6.3mm) or sinter fines (<6.3mm). The difference for the consumer is that lump can be fed directly into the blast furnace while fines must first go through a process known as sintering where they are agglomerated into crude pellets called 'sinter'. This step is necessary to maintain permeability of the blast
PELLETS VERSUS SINTER. A mix of iron ore raw materials consisting of sinter and pellets is used for blast furnace ironmaking in Russia. Consumption of iron ore pellets in the …
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 …
Reduction of Iron Ore Pellets, Sinter, and Lump Ore under Simulated Blast Furnace Conditions Anne Heikkilä,* Mikko Iljana, Hauke Bartusch, and Timo Fabritius 1. Introduction A blast furnace (BF) is the most common process for hot metal production in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical
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.
