Iron Ore Pelletizing Process: An Overview

Organic binders have been used as an attractive alternative to bentonite in iron ore pelletizing process, mainly because it burns without leaving any residue in the final pellet. ... Cassola MS, Chaves …

Partial Replacement of Bentonite by Fly-Ash as a Binder in Pellet …

Bentonite is the most common binder in iron ore pelletization. In the present work, laboratory experiment as well as basket trials were carried out with partial replacement of bentonite by fly-ash as a binder. Fly-ash is a coal combustion residue produced from power plants. Laboratory tests were carried out with different proportion …

Can fly-ash extend bentonite binder for iron ore …

The present study has raised more questions than it has answered. The remaining questions are: v v v v v v v 1. Can stronger iron ore pellets be made after bentonite is developed into a fibrous matrix? 2. Can the …

Bentonite binder effective strength (BESt) test for …

Key words: Bentonite binder, Pelletization, Strength test, Taconite processing Introduction Bentonite clay is used to bond iron ore concentrates into pellets. The clay is a significant cost item, with individual plants spending US$3 to 5 million for bentonite annually. These bentonites are currently evaluated by the amount of

Iron Ore Pelletizing

The high water absorbtion and swelling capacity of NATIONAL STANDARD PG promotes balling of iron ore concentrate. This improves the green, drop, and dry strengths of the pellet which prevents the collapse of the pellets as they are transported to the kiln.

A review of binders in iron ore pelletization

The most common agglomeration technique is pelletization, which requires the use of binders to hold the iron oxide grains together so that the agglomerates can be sintered into high-strength pellets. Although bentonite clay is the most commonly used binder, there are many other possibilities that could be competitive in a number of …

(0.5 and 1 w.t % of dextrin and I w.t % bentonite) and without binder added to the iron ore and pellets were prepared. 2.1.3. Preparation of Iron Ore Pellets. The green pellets were prepared by mixing of dry concentrate of iron ore particles, required amount of moisture (Water ≈10%) and pre-defined binder percentage, for 5-10 min.

Microstructure of Bentonite in Iron Ore Green Pellets

The microstructure of bentonite in magnetite pellets is revealed for the first time using scanning electron microscopy and it is shown that clay tactoids were very well dispersed and formed a voluminous network occupying the space available between mineral particles. Abstract Sodium-activated calcium bentonite is used as a binder in …

Binding Mechanism in Green Iron Ore Pellets with an Organic Binder

ABSTRACT Organic binders have been used as alternative to bentonite in the iron ore pelletizing process mainly because it burns without leaving residue in the pellet. There are two main types of organic binders, those based on cellulose and those based on polyacrylamide structures. The purpose of this investigation was to explore …

Mechanism of thermal compressive strength evolution of …

Against the background of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality," it is of great practical significance to develop non-blast furnace ironmaking technology for the sustainable development of steel industry. Carbon-bearing iron ore pellet is an innovative burden of direct reduction ironmaking due to its excellent self-reducing property, and the …

ALTERNATIVE BINDERS TO BENTONITE FOR IRON ORE …

This study was started to find alternative binders to bentonite and to recover the low preheated and fired pellet mechanical strengths of organic binders-bonded pellets. Bentonite is considered as a chemical impurity for pellet chemistry due to acid constituents (SiO2 and Al2O3). Especially addition of silica-alumina bearing binders is detrimental …

Iron Ore Pelletization: A Critical Review of Processes and

Iron ore pelletization is a critical aspect of the steel manufacturing process, providing a method to utilize fine iron ore particles and beneficiate lower grade ores, which enhances the overall output and efficiency of steel production processes. Pelletization involves converting iron ore fines into compact pellets, which are then used in blast …

A review of binders in iron ore pelletization

The majority of iron ores must be ground to a fine particle size to allow the iron oxides they contain to be concentrated, and the concentrate must then be agglomerated back into large enough particles that they can be processed in blast furnaces. The most common agglomeration technique is pelletization, which requires the use of binders to hold the …
