Jul 10, 2017· The iron ore pelletizing process consists of three main steps: Pelletizing feed preparation and mixing: the raw material (iron ore concentrate, additives—anthracite, dolomite—and binders are prepared in terms of particle size and chemical specifications, dosed, and mixed together to feed the pelletizing process;
Outotec Traveling Grate Sintering is suitable for sintering a wide range of raw materials, including iron, manganese and ferronickel, while Outotec Traveling Grate Pelletizing is the industry’s leading induration technology for iron ore pellet production which is designed for a wide range of plant capacities and produces uniform pellets with excellent physical and metallurgical properties.
Iron ore pellets are spheres of typically 6–16 mm (0.24–0.63 in) to be used as raw material for blast furnaces. They typically contain 64–72% Fe and various additional material adjusting the chemical composition and the metallurgic properties of the pellets. Typically limestone, dolomite and olivine is added and Bentonite is used as binder. The process of pelletizing combines mixing of the raw material, forming the pellet and a thermal treatm
Sintering: A Step Between Mining Iron Ore and Steelmaking. The remaining 2% of domestic iron ore was produced for non-steel end uses. Seven open-pit iron ore mines (each with associated concentration and pelletizing plants), and three iron metallic plants—one direct-reduced iron (DRI) plant and two hot-briquetted iron (HBI) plants— operated during the year to supply steelmaking raw materials.
Iron ore pellet is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better tumbling index when compared with the iron ore and it can be used as a substitute for the iron ore lumps both in the BF and for DRI production. Pellets have good reducibility since they have high porosity (25 % to 30 %). Normally pellets are reduced considerably faster than sinter
CVIC Group is a leading supplier specializing in R&D, manufacturing, and sales of iron ore pelletizing and sintering plant equipment and industrial ceramics. Its manufacturing Centre is located in Tangshan, in the province of Hebei, China, which is the largest steel-producing city and one of the most important heavy industrial cities in China.
Dec 28, 2015· Sintering and pelletizing are the processes of major importance for the iron production. During 2014, as per World Steel Association, the production of blast furnace iron and direct reduced iron were 1183 million tons and 73 million tons respectively. Most of this production has come from iron ore in the form of sinter and pellet.

Oct 06, 2017· Solid state sintering in the induration of iron ore pellets. Metallur-gical Transactions. 1974; 5:991-999 The use of binders for iron ore pelletizing is required to: (a) increase the pellet
Iron ore pelletizing systems. Iron ore fines are agglomerated into pellets and then indurated using a furnace to create iron ore pellets. These are typically fed to a blast furnace or DRI plant as part of the process to make steel. Metso is supplier of both Straight Grate and Grate Kiln pellet plants.
Pelletizing of raw material by combining agglomeration with thermal energy is increasingly being used as a method of value adding. Pelletizing is typically used in the iron ore industry to convert raw ore into pellets with characteristics appropriate for use in a blast furnace. It is also popular in the chemical and food industries and Continue reading Pelletising and Sintering →
Sintering and Pelletizing; Traveling Grate Pelletizing Plant; Outotec® Traveling Grate Pelletizing Plant. Get uniform pellets with excellent metallurgical and physical properties. Outotec's traveling grate pelletizing plant is the industry's leading induration technology for iron ore pellet production for a wide range of plant capacities
High grade iron ore less than 10% of the total reserves. ROM iron ore with Fe less than 58 60% discarded as waste. After beneficiation iron ore availability can improve by about 50%. Steel community and the country demand technological solutions for utilising low grade ores. The technology task that would be imperative: 1.
May 18, 2017· Five iron ore agglomeration technologies can be defined: briquetting, nodulization, extrusion, pelletization and sintering. Sintering and pelletization are the most important agglomeration technologies, in this way, in the EU-27, 14 countries operate 34 iron ore sinter plants with 63 iron ore sinter strands, producing in the first decade of the twenty-first century 130 million tons of sinter
Feb 03, 2012· Similar to sintering, pelletizing is another widely used process to agglomerate the iron ore. Sinter plants are usually located near the blast furnace plant, but pelletizing plants are often located near the mining site. Some works have both pelletizing and sintering plants at the smelter sites. 1.1.3.2.2.2 Green Pellets. The ore is crushed
Dec 28, 2015· Pelletizing of iron ore is a method of Swedish origin, patented in 1912 by AG Andersson (Yamaguchi et al., 2010). The process was developed in the USA in the 1940s, and the first commercial plant started operation in Babbitt, Minnesota in 1952. The first iron ore pellet plant of the grate-kiln type was established at Humboldt Mine, Michigan in
Jun 11, 2017· What is Pelletization? The process of Pelletization helps converting Iron Ore Fines into “Uniform Size Iron Ore Pellets” that can be fed in the blast furnaces or in the DRI kiln (DRI). Why Pelletization? Pelletization is the only answer to a major...
Regions in which iron ore has formed over millions of years (e.g. through volcanism) and can be mined economically are also referred to as iron ore deposits. Especially many ore deposits can be found in countries such as China, Australia, Brazil, India and Russia. These countries account for around 85 % of the total global iron ore mining volume.
the blast furnace process, to the sintering of iron ore and iron ore pelletizing are the main areas. In this investigation the usefulness of the olivine mined at Greenland for sinter and pellet production was studied. The chemical analysis of the olivine from Greenland shows an
Iron ore pelletizing, or balling, is the process of transforming fines into spherical granules anywhere from 8 16mm in size via tumble-growth (agitation) agglomeration using either a disc pelletizer (pan granulator) or rotary drum.
Sintering is a thermal agglomeration process that is applied to a mixture of iron ore fines, recycled ironmaking products, fluxes, slag-forming agents and solid fuel (coke).
