addition to the blast furnace (BF) process, to the sintering of iron ore and iron ore pelletizing are the main areas. The relative high MgO content and SiO 2 content are regarded as beneficial, as well as the relatively low LOI (loss on ignition) of olivine, with respect to dolomite and limestone.
iron ore. His process involved grinding taconite to remove gangues and upgrading the iron ore (i.e., an ore beneficiation process). The resultant high-grade ore is in the form of fine particles, as small as 0.1mm or less, which are not suitable for sintering. This issue led to the use of pelletizing. Pelletizing plants are expected to play an

Bentonite Addition bonaceous materials and bentonite added while pellet mak- The iron ore pellets (P-type) with bentonite (1–4 mass%) ing constitute total gangue. When CCS values were plotted was reduced in a bed of coke fines at 1 250°C without sub- against total gangue content (Fig. 7) it was found that jecting extra sintering time (P12 ...
Iron ore sintering consists of heating a layer of fines until partial melting occurs and individual ore particles fuse together. For this purpose, a traveling-grate machine is used, and the burning of fine coke (known as coke breeze) within the ore generates the necessary heat. Before being delivered to the sinter machine, the ore mixture is ...
Iron ore pellets are a main iron-bearing burden for the blast furnace ironmaking process [1,2].Because of its good metallurgical properties and low energy consumption in the production process, pellets can increase production, save coke, improve technical and economic indexes of ironmaking, reduce hot metal cost and improve economic benefits when applied to the blast furnace ironmaking process ...
