Iron ore pellets are essential inputs for producing direct reduced iron (DRI), but the conventional binders, used in iron ore pelletizing, introduce gangue oxides to the DRI and consequently increase the slag generation and energy consumption in the steelmaking unit.
ture is required, as well as a binder agent, for instance bentonite or Portland cement. The mixture is sent to the extrusion machine to obtain the agglomerated product [8]. Pelletization Pelletization is an agglomeration process of iron ore concentrates with a granulometry lower than 150 m and low concentration of impurities [10, 11].

1. Introduction. The binder is an important additive widely applied in pelletizing iron ore concentrates, making iron ore pellets available as feedstocks for blast furnace ironmaking or direct reduction processes [1,2,3].Bentonite clay, due to its excellent effectiveness and relatively low cost, has been the predominant binder for pellet production since 1950s [4,5,6].
ABSTRACT Humic substances exist widely in lignite coal as high molecular weight organic molecules. They can be used as binders in iron ore pelletization mostly in the form of salt, such as sodium humate and amine humate via extraction from lignite coal. It is worth determining if lignite can be used as a binder without extraction. As a composite binder of organic and inorganics, due to the ...
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;
What Is Iron Ore Pelletization Process. ... The next step involves grinding this dried residue, with the addition of Bentonite which is a binder chemical. This concentrate is then passed through a specialized machine, known as a disc pelletizer, that helps form standardsized pellets. Once pellets are formed they are hardened under high ...

The received iron ore is martitegoethitic and hematitegoethitic form of ore with high LOI content. The iron ore consists of % Fe, % SiO2, % Al2O3, % moisture and % LOI. From thermogravimetric analysis, the ...
fine concentrate. The most commonly employed one is pelletizing in iron ore industry. In pelletizing, iron ore, water and a binder are balled in a mechanical disc or drum to produce agglomerates. Bentonite is the most widely used binder. However, it is considered as an impurity due to its high SiO 2 and Al 2O 3 content. Many researchers have ...
Humic substancebased binder (HB) has been found to be an effective substitution for bentonite in the production of iron ore pellets. In this study, it was found that the preheating time needed to be prolonged during the pelletization processing which is a remarkable feature of pellets with HB instead of bentonite. As far as the oxidation behaviors were concerned, a manifest oxidation ...
Bentonite solutions have viscous, variable, and lubricant properties. Different types of bentonites influence pellet properties, as well as the interaction among heterogeneous or homogeneous bentonites and iron concentrate [ 3 6 ]. In this study, we utilized three different types of bentonites for a pelletizing test.

ABSTRACT The addition of pellet binders often represents a compromise between the pellet grade and quality measures as strength, reducibility, and dustiness. Each inorganic compound present within the pellet plays a specific role in each aspect of creating a highquality pellet. This review seeks to clarify the roles of both binders and coincidentally present inorganic compounds to highlight ...
Keywords: HA, modified bentonite, characterization, iron ore, pelletization Abstract A new kind of iron ore pellet binder named humic acid modifying bentonite (HAMB) has been developed by the author's group, which has the advantages of both organic HA and inorganic bentonite. The green pellet strength can be obviously improved by
In the pelletization process, the iron ore fines are converted into green pellets using drum or disc pelletizer, wherein binder and moisture are added to provide the necessary green strength. The green pellets being fragile are subsequently transferred to induration furnace, wherein the green pellets get fired to achieve the desired properties ...
The functions and molecular structure of organic binders for iron ore pelletization have been investigated in this paper based on the basic principles of molecular design, interface chemistry and polymer science as well as failure model of binding systems. The following conclusions are achieved. Functionally, good organic binders for iron ore ...
The production of iron ore pellets at JSW Steel Limited involves the drying of iron ore fines to get the moisture less than 1% and grinding the dried material to get the required fineness 45 μm size ≥%.Prior to the formation of green pellets, the ground ore is mixed with small amounts of binding agents such as bentonite ( to %), fluxes such as limestone to get the pellet ...
The present application of binders used in the iron ore industries indicates that the most common binder is bentonite, which is generally added as % by weight of iron [10, 11]. It has proved to be the most effective binder due to its high water adsorption capacity and dry film strength [ 12 ].
As known, in order to produce green pellets, bentonite binder (< 1 wt%) and moisture (89 wt%) is added to the iron ore concentrates powder with particle size of less than 45 microns. Then, the mixture of raw materials is transformed into the 916 mm diameter green pellet by balling disk [ 5 ].
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 interparticle bonding ...

In the production of iron ore concentrate pellets, binders are required to improve pellet green strength. The most popular binder for this purpose is bentonite clay, which is added at a rate of approximately % by weight of moist concentrate. Bentonite is a significant cost item in iron ore pelletization, and also contributes undesirable amounts of silica to the finished pellets.
Addition of 1% bentonite to an iron ore concentrate results in a lowering of acid pellet iron content by % [1]. ... Structurally, good organic binders for iron ore pelletization should contain sufficient polar groups (X) and hydrophilic groups (Y) and possess the structure mold like [X P Y] n. Ionization potential, electron affinity, group ...
Molasses was used as an alternative binder to the bentonite binder. The change in moisture absorption by pellets prepared with different iron ores and different molasses contents were investigated. Iron ore properties exerted the major effect on pellet behavior and final pellet quality. The absorbed moisture content of pellets prepared without binder, bentoniteadded pellets, and molasses ...
The selection of an appropriate binder type and dosage is of critical importance in producing good quality pellets at a reasonable price. Binders accomplish two very important functions in iron ore pelletization: The binder makes the moist ore plastic, so that it will nucleate seeds that grow at a controlled rate into wellformed pellets.
This study illustrates the feasibility of pelletizing magnetite iron ore concentrate using four organic binders: KemPel, Alcotac CS, Alcotac FE16, and CMC, in comparison to bentonite as a reference.
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 interparticle bonding within the pellet.
For pelletization study, as received iron oxide pellet fines were ground to below 150 μ using ball mill. The particle size distribution of ground iron ore fines was determined by the Malvern particle size analyzer (Hydro 2000MU, UK) and shown in Fig. number was measured to determine surface area of the iron oxide pellet fines using air permeability apparatus (Model 6565, ToniPERM ...
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.
