A review of binders in iron ore pelletization
Bentonite is a predominant binder used in iron ore pelletization. However, the presence of a high content of silica and alumina in bentonite is considered undesirable for ironmaking operations. The objective of this study was to identify the alternatives of bentonite for iron ore pelletization. To achieve this goal, different types of organic ...

Review of organic binders for iron ore concentrate agglomeration
Low-grade iron ores are finely ground and processed to recover iron-bearing minerals. However, the iron-rich powder is too fine to be used directly in blast furnaces and most direct reduction furnaces, and must be agglomerated or pelletized into a usable product called "pellets." Bentonite clay has traditionally been used as a binder to make iron ore concentrate …

Iron Ore Pelletization: Part I. Fundamentals
ABSTRACT The behavior of iron ore pellet binders is complex. Any pellet binder is subject to a handful of practical requirements: that it be readily dispersed through a pellet, that it effectively controls the movement of water within the pellet, and that it contributes to the inter-particle bonding within the pellet. Meeting these requirements leads to the formation of strong …

Utilization of Pellet Fines in the Iron Ore Sintering Process
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 process. 5 …

A New Approach of Pelletizing: Use of Low-Grade Ore as a
For carbon neutrality, the use of sinter should be decreased owing to higher CO2 emission in the sintering process of the blast furnace operations. This trend might contribute to the increased use of iron ore pellets with lower CO2 emission in the fabrication process, high reducibility and gas permeability due to higher mechanical strength. The pelletizing process …
